The foreign ministers of Russia and Azerbaijan, Sergey Lavrov and Elmar Mamedyarov, will discuss strengthening bilateral relations as well as settlement of the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh in Moscow on Monday.
Mamedyarov is in Russia for an official visit on May 24-26. The agenda of his stay in Russia also includes meetings with Sergey Naryshkin, the speaker of the State Duma, the lower house of Russia’s parliament, and Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin.
The two top diplomats will discuss the state and prospects of bilateral cooperation, the key aspects of the regional and international agenda, including the Nagorno-Karabakh settlement. The Russian Foreign Ministry noted that Russian-Azerbaijani economic, humanitarian and cultural ties actively developed last year.
In particular, trade grew 12% and joint activity was started to increase supplies of Azerbaijani agricultural products to the Russian Federation against the backdrop of a ban on imports to Russia of products from some European countries.
Cooperation also develops in the defense sphere. According to data of the Russian Armed Forces’ Southern Military District, joint military exercises of Russia’s Caspian Flotilla and Azerbaijan’s navy are scheduled for September.
