Azerbaijan, Baku, June 19 / Trend , E. Ostapenko/

Israeli President Shimon Peres' visit to Baku in late June will advance Azerbaijan's and Israel's national interests, Israeli ambassador to Azerbaijan Arthur Lenk said.

"The important is that why Israeli president decided to visit Azerbaijan, with whom he is going to meet and what about to talk. It will advance national interests of Azerbaijan and Israel," ambassador told journalists after a seminar at the strategic research center. "I believe Shimon Peres will achieve his goal by his visit."  

During round table discussions Lenk confirmed that President Peres' visit to Baku will take place on June 28-29.  

Ambassador said documents will be signed in a wide range of fields. The important is not what documents will be signed, but important is the dialogue between Azerbaijani and Israeli nations.

"The important thing is not that what we will sign documents on education, medicine, etc. This is only a piece of paper," Lenk said. "What is important is that the Israelis and the Azerbaijanis speak with each other and discuss areas of mutual interest."

Ministers of energy, trade and science of Israel will arrive in Baku together with the President. A seminar on trade will be held as a part of the visit.
