BAKU, Azerbaijan, April 29. Over the past period, Azerbaijan and Germany have fostered friendly and partnership relations, expanding their economic and trade ties with positive outcomes evident in trade turnover, political analyst Azer Garayev told Trend.
Highlighting President Ilham Aliyev's visit to Germany at German Chancellor Olaf Scholz's invitation, as well as the meetings that followed and his participation in the high-level segment of the 15th Petersberg Climate Dialogue, was another historic event that demonstrated Azerbaijan's growing global influence and its proactive approach to addressing climate change.
"Germany and Azerbaijan have friendly and cooperative relations that are characterized by a constant evolution of their interaction. This is especially noticeable in the growth of economic and trade links, which produce favorable trade turnover outcomes and point to a steadily improving trajectory in Azerbaijani-German relations. The signing of almost 80 bilateral documents highlights the depth of Germany's connection with Azerbaijan and makes it stand out among European countries," Garayev said.
Regarding Germany's readiness to serve as a forum for discussions between Armenia and Azerbaijan, Garayev stated that Germany is eager to do so because it recognizes Azerbaijan's beneficial role in the South Caucasus, as well as the country's contributions to economic growth, peace, and security.
"German companies are particularly drawn to Azerbaijan's solid stability and favorable investment climate. The friendly counterparts have taken note of Azerbaijan's steadfast and reliable stance, which has significantly contributed to the deepening of economic cooperation between the two nations." Notably, productive negotiations between Armenia and Azerbaijan were held after the Munich conference, advancing the peace agenda. All things considered, Germany shows itself to be a trustworthy ally on Western negotiating tables, expertly preserving an impartial stance," the political analyst said.
