Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov on Monday received a copy of the credentials of the newly appointed Ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan to the Republic of Azerbaijan Bilal Hayee, the Foreign Ministry told AzVision.az. 

Minister Jeyhun Bayramov congratulated Ambassador Bilal Hayee on his appointment and stressed the special importance of the relations between Azerbaijan and Pakistan. High level of cooperation between our countries in the political, economic, cultural and other fields, as well as cooperation and mutual support on multilateral platforms, were noted with satisfaction.

Afterward, speaking about the new act of aggression committed by Armenia against Azerbaijan on September 27, Minister Jeyhun Bayramov informed that the armed forces of Armenia shelled the Azerbaijani positions and villages along the line of contact which resulted in casualties among the civilian population.
