Baku, Azerbaijan, March 4
By Seba Aghayeva - Trend:
The international visits of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev show the country’s place on the international arena and the attitude towards it, Novruz Mammadov, deputy head of Azerbaijani presidential administration, chief of the administration’s foreign relations department, told reporters March 4 in Baku.
Mammadov added that these visits show the great need for cooperation with Azerbaijan and development of relations with the country both through events and within bilateral relations.
“That’s to say, there is a need for cooperation with Azerbaijan. The place and position of Azerbaijan is apparent. In this context, the president’s recent visits are of great importance,” said the top official.
Mammadov pointed out that the current status of cooperation between Azerbaijan and Qatar in various spheres, as well as the prospects for these relations were discussed and relevant decisions were made during the official visit of President Aliyev to Qatar.
“I believe that there are very good opportunities for further developing the cooperation between the two countries in the spheres of agriculture, energy, tourism, mutual investment making, intensifying the flights and other fields,” he said. “During the visit, the sides held discussions on these issues and we will see the results soon.”
Mammadov noted that one of the main goals of the Azerbaijani president is to further strengthen the interstate relations, because nowadays, a country can't support itself purely on its own.
“Mutual relations contribute to ensuring the issues I mentioned. In this regard, the 13th Summit of the Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO) held in Islamabad was of great importance,” he added.
