BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 7. We pay very big importance to the official visit of the President of Albania. I am sure the visit will strengthen close bilateral relations between our countries, President Ilham Aliyev said in a press statement following an expanded meeting with President of Albania Bajram Begaj, Trend reports.
"We created a very special dynamism in our bilateral ties based on friendship and mutual support. We are actively working in international organizations, supporting each other, primarily in the United Nations and Islamic Cooperation Organization. At the same time, we are very grateful to Albania for supporting Azerbaijan in the organizations where Azerbaijan is not present. I already expressed my gratitude to Mr. President and the Government of Albania for support to Azerbaijan during the last year's Francophonie Summit, where there was an attempt by one member state of Francophonie to pass the paragraph and to include the paragraph into a final document - a paragraph of anti-Azerbaijani substance," President Ilham Aliyev said.
