He noted that in the past period, the parties have worked together at a high level on energy security, improving bilateral trade and investment, as well as combating transnational threats.
"Thousands of people have taken advantage of the opportunities for intercultural academic and professional exchange. This year we will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Association of Graduates of Azerbaijanis educated in the United States," the ambassador said.
