Ilham Aliyev said that the leaders had a detailed conversation in a narrow format on many issues on the bilateral agenda, as well as on regional and international topics. “We have once again confirmed the strategic nature of our relations,” he stressed. “We value the trusting, creative partnership between our countries, which is based on mutual respect, friendship and co-operation. Our relations have been time tested, and I think no one doubts that Belarus and Azerbaijan are two reliable friends.”
