🇷🇺🇦🇿 President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin met with President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev.
💬 Vladimir Putin: Our cooperation is extensive. I believe we would have plenty to discuss even if we met every month.
📈 I would like to highlight the positive development in the key area, which is our trade and economic cooperation. Our trade volume exceeds US$4 billion, and Russian direct investments in Azerbaijan’s economy amount to US$4.3–4.5 billion. The trend is positive, with a growth rate of approximately 13 percent in the first six months of this year. Everything is progressing well.
I would also like to mention our infrastructure plans, particularly the well-known North-South Transport Corridor, which is our top priority. I hope we will discuss this further. There are opportunities in other spheres, too, such as energy and industrial cooperation.
<...>
I would also like to acknowledge the cultural aspect. I understand that the Days of Russian Culture recently concluded in Azerbaijan. I appreciate your personal dedication to supporting the Russian language. There are over 300 schools in Azerbaijan that provide instruction to young people and children in Russian. This provides a strong foundation with good prospects for maintaining and advancing our relations in the future.

🇷🇺🇦🇿 Expanded Russian-Azerbaijani negotiations were held in Baku.
💬 President of Russia Vladimir Putin: As you have noted, our delegation is highly representative, as is yours. The Government of the Russian Federation is here in nearly full composition.
We have already mentioned that just ten days ago, the intergovernmental commission held a meeting, which confirmed that our relations are progressing. Moreover, it was noted that we fully honour the provisions of the 2022 Declaration, as well as the agreements reached during your visit last April.
🤝 Working with such a large delegation allows us to plan for the near future more effectively. Even though our discussions were held in a restricted format, we have already addressed several top-priority issues.
✍️ We still need to sign a number of documents. Our colleagues have had the chance – both informally yesterday evening, as we did, and throughout the day today – to engage with one another and outline the next steps.

🇷🇺🇦🇿 President of Russia Vladimir Putin and President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev held a meeting in the restricted-format talks at the Zagulba Presidential Residence (19 August 2024)
💬 Vladimir Putin: Our relations are progressing guided by the Declaration we signed in early 2022. Its successful implementation has been further bolstered by your visit to Moscow this past April, which gave a strong boost to our bilateral ties.
Our trade and economic relations are developing successfully. <...>
☝️ As for humanitarian ties, we believe they are very important and would like to thank you for the attention you devote to promoting the Russian language. There are 300 schools that teach Russian, as well as branches of our leading higher educational institutions operating in Azerbaijan. Thousands of young Azerbaijanis are studying at leading Russian universities, and we are ready to expand this cooperation.
An intergovernmental commission is working successfully. <...>
The Days of Russian Culture were held in Azerbaijan in June 2024. Thank you very much for organising this event.
🤝 If there is anything we can do to facilitate the signing of a peace agreement between Azerbaijan and Armenia, to reach a delimitation or demarcation of the border, and resolve logistical and economic issues, as previously discussed on multiple occasions, we are more than willing to assist. <...>

🇷🇺🇦🇿 From the Joint Statement of the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin on the results of bilateral talks with President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev (19 August 2024)
💬 Vladimir Putin: Russia attaches great importance to developing a comprehensive and friendly relationship with Azerbaijan. This relationship is based on the principles of equality, respect for each other's interests, and, of course, the close personal and cultural ties that have brought our nations together for centuries now.
The Joint Statement we adopted outlines ambitious goals for advancing our bilateral relations dynamically. Additionally, the documents signed today will support the achievement of these goals.
The key economic cooperation issues are constantly monitored by our colleagues on the intergovernmental commission. Its latest meeting, held in Baku ahead of our visit, was highly productive.
Cultural ties are actively expanding. In June, Azerbaijan successfully hosted Days of Russian Culture, featuring exhibitions, concerts, theatrical performances, and other vibrant cultural events.
We also touched upon current international developments. In foreign policy, both our countries firmly adhere to the principles of the supremacy of international law, the sovereignty of states and non-interference in their internal affairs.
🤝 Russia and Azerbaijan closely coordinate their efforts at key multilateral platforms, including the #UN and naturally, the Commonwealth of Independent States. We will be delighted to see the President of Azerbaijan at the meeting of the CIS Heads of State Council in Moscow in October, as well as at the outreach meeting to be held in the same month as part of the #BRICS summit in Kazan. <...>
Russia will continue to make utmost efforts towards the normalisation of Azerbaijani-Armenian interaction and the conclusion of a peace treaty based on the well-known trilateral agreements reached by the presidents of Russia and Azerbaijan and the Prime Minister of Armenia between 2020 and 2022.
☝️ I am sure that the talks held and the agreements reached today will serve to further strengthen the strategic partnership between Russia and Azerbaijan.
