Azerbaijan committed to strengthening relations with Asian partners

BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 11. Amid rather
complex and turbulent modern international relations Turkic states
face the necessity to create sustainable models of national
economies, and in this context, Turkic integration, which
Azerbaijan has been advocating for many years, is of particular
importance, Trend
reports.

Azerbaijan, being the founding country of the Organization of
Turkic States, played an important role in uniting the countries of
the Turkic world and bringing the relations of these countries to
the current high level.

In addition to multilateral format of relations, Azerbaijan also
attaches great importance to the development of bilateral relations
separately with each Turkic country, as evidenced by the visits of
the Heads of Turkic states to Azerbaijan, during which discussions
are held at the highest level.

Just this summer President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev visited
Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan, held meetings and discussions at the
highest level. Moreover, presidents of Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan
were given a warm welcome in Azerbaijan’s Baku.

Thus, during the recent visit of the President of Kyrgyzstan
Sadyr Japarov to Azerbaijan, the parties signed a number of
documents aimed at strengthening strategic relations between the
countries.

Kyrgyz political expert Almaz Usuvaliyev noted that Azerbaijan
and Kyrgyzstan always had good relations.

“Many Azerbaijanis live in Kyrgyzstan, and feel like they are in
their own family. The laying of the foundation of the Azerbaijan
Culture and Leisure Park in Bishkek is also a desire to show
friendship between the people of Azerbaijan and Kyrgyzstan,” he
said.

The people of Kyrgyzstan and Azerbaijan are united by friendship
and brotherly relations, Usuvaliyev added.

He also stressed that today Azerbaijan, being the founder of the
Organization of Turkic States, seeks to strengthen the influence of
this organization.

Thus, along with an active policy of developing relations with
European countries, Azerbaijan doesn’t forget about important
partners in Asia, striving to strengthen its position and develop
relations in all areas with its closest strategic partners.
