Being a platform for discussing regional and international issues, the CIS contributes hugely to the implementation of measures of fighting crimes and modern challenges. Azerbaijan attaches great importance to the regular meeting of the CIS Heads of State Council scheduled for November 2, 2018 in Astana in terms of economic, financial and humanitarian issues," Prime Minister Novruz Mammadov said.

The Azerbaijani Prime Minister noted that both countries value common roots, common culture and spirituality.
