Baku, Azerbaijan, May 28

By Leman Zeynalova – Trend:

Azerbaijan is enhancing cooperation with South Korea on all fronts, said Azerbaijani ambassador to South Korea Ramzi Teymurov.

He made the remarks during the celebration of centenary anniversary of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic (ADR) organized by Azerbaijani embassy in South Korea, The Korea Herald reported.

The diplomat noted that the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic’s declaration of independence on May 28, 1918, was a historic event and one of the most glorious pages of Azerbaijan’s history.

“Following our independence in 1991, Azerbaijan has achieved dramatic growth in diverse sectors, particularly by implementing mega-projects in energy and transport. Azerbaijan is rapidly modernizing and diversifying its economy, increasing its potential in transport, logistics, tourism and agricultural developments across the South Caucasus and Eurasia, and enhancing cooperation with South Korea on all fronts,“ said Teymurov.

Moon Duk-ho, Korean ambassador for international security affairs at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, for his part, said that Azerbaijan is far from South Korea geographically, but it is close to the country culturally and emotionally.

“There is active economic cooperation between the two countries focusing on energy and infrastructure,” added Duk-ho.

The two governments established diplomatic relations in 1992.
