The president made the remarks Apr. 8 in a joint statement for the media following an expanded meeting with the Russian PM.
"We attach great importance to your visit," President Aliyev told Medvedev. "Today, during the talks in the expanded and one-on-one formats, we discussed the important issues of bilateral cooperation and regional problems."
President Aliyev added that, especially taking into account the recent escalation, they also had detailed discussions on the issues related to the settlement of the Armenia-Azerbaijan Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
He said Azerbaijan appreciates that Russia`s Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev is on an official visit to Baku today.
"I invited Medvedev to visit Azerbaijan and I know that he was planning to pay this visit. But the fact that this visit was paid today is considered by us as another proof of friendly and partner attitude towards Azerbaijan," added Ilham Aliyev.
