BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 11. A part of what we outlined during our Baku meeting has already been implemented, President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said making a press statement together with President of Kyrgyzstan Sadyr Japarov, Trend reports.
"First of all, I would like to mention the decision to establish
a joint Kyrgyz-Azerbaijani Development Fund, which will serve the
cause of development, the cause of attracting investments, creating
jobs and even more prerequisites for building up cooperation in the
trade and economic sphere.
Six months ago, we signed the Declaration on Strategic Partnership,
which raised our relations to a qualitatively new level. Today we
note with satisfaction how this Declaration is being implemented.
Much of what we identified six months ago is already being
transformed into the sphere of real politics today. We discussed in
detail a wide range of issues from cultural and humanitarian
cooperation, economic interaction, transport interaction to issues
related to education and high technologies. I must say that two
Azerbaijani satellites, Azersky and Azerspace-1, have been
providing services to Kyrgyz partners for some time now, and we
have identified further ways to develop cooperation in this area.
In the transport and transit sector, with the start of construction
and commissioning of the new China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan-Caspian
railway, there will be opportunities to increase trade and reduce
transportation costs. We congratulate fraternal Kyrgyzstan, as well
as other partner countries, on the launch of this important
project. Thus, having transport links, implementing an investment
policy in the areas of priority for the government of Kyrgyzstan,
and also having such a solid foundation of international legal
nature, namely, as I have already noted, the Declaration on
Strategic Partnership, the documents signed here in Bishkek today
and those signed in Baku half a year ago, we are, in fact, somewhat
making up for what was missed for some reason in previous years. I
think that one of the main directions of our future cooperation
will be precisely the fact that we should be focused on concrete
results," the head of state said.
