MOSCOW, Russia, October 8. On October 8, Ilham
Aliyev, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, held a meeting
with Vladimir Putin, President of the Russian Federation, in
Moscow, Trend
reports.
Welcoming the President of Azerbaijan, President
Vladimir Putin said:
– Dear Ilham Heydarovich!
Dear friends, colleagues!
We are very pleased to welcome you all to Moscow. As agreed
during my visit to Baku, we are holding this meeting today.
The President and I have just had a one-on-one discussion, and
yesterday evening we had an informal conversation, in which we
touched on issues related to the current state of our
relations.
I want to point out right away that our relations are developing
positively, as we noted during my visit to Azerbaijan: 4.3 billion
dollars in trade turnover, over 4 billion in direct investments in
the Azerbaijani economy, and many good, interesting projects in
both the energy sector and infrastructure development. These are
all promising, real, and viable projects – both bilateral and
multilateral.
We are very glad that, on the margins of the CIS heads of state
meeting, we have the opportunity today to exchange information on
current work and perhaps outline or make some adjustments to this
progress, which is evident.
We are very happy to see you. Welcome!
President Ilham Aliyev said:
– Thank you, esteemed Vladimir Vladimirovich, for the
opportunity to meet today, and thank you also for yesterday’s
dinner. By the way, I would like to take this opportunity to
congratulate you once again on your belated birthday.
Since your state visit, the dynamics of our bilateral relations
have been quite noticeable. There have been many contacts at the
level of representatives from various authorities and government
members, as a follow-up to the decisions reached in August in
Baku.
Today is also a good opportunity, as you noted, to revisit these
issues because the agenda is quite extensive, and the projects,
especially the new ones that we outlined in Baku in August,
certainly require our constant attention and oversight. So today is
a good opportunity to revisit the agenda once again and determine
specific steps to implement the agreements we have reached.
Once again, thank you for the meeting.
President Vladimir Putin: Dear Ilham
Heydarovich, we look forward to seeing you in Kazan on October
23-24 for the BRICS, BRICS Plus/Outreach events. I am confident
that these will be productive meetings, providing an opportunity to
work with all the leaders of the participating countries. And, of
course, we are inviting a large number of countries that are eager
to cooperate with BRICS. Twenty-five colleagues have confirmed
their participation. Therefore, such platforms are always
convenient for work, considering the opportunity to discuss a wide
range of issues of interest to the participants of these events. I
believe it will be both useful and interesting. We look forward to
seeing you in Kazan.
President Ilham Aliyev: Thank you, Vladimir
Vladimirovich. Azerbaijan is indeed among the 25 countries Sergey
Viktorovich mentioned that have confirmed their participation. I
happily accept your invitation and look forward to our next
meeting. Thank you.
