various aspects and issues of bilateral and multilateral
cooperation. She recalled the Azerbaijani-Malaysian diplomatic

was gratifying that the bilateral relations had been advancing all
those years past.
The two countries, both members of the Islamic World,
posture considerably in regard to the strengthening of mutual
support and solidarity of the Muslim states – as much as concerning
the promotion of Islamic values. Besides, Azerbaijan and Malaysia

inter-state relations were brought up as well, with the head of the

done by the inter-parliamentary friendship groups.
Speaking about the interaction between the legislative
assemblies of Azerbaijan and Malaysia in inter-parliamentary
organizations, Sahiba Gafarova told in detail of the emergence of
the Parliamentary Network of the Non-Aligned Movement, brought
about by President Ilham Aliyev of Azerbaijan acting as the NAM
Chairman to promote the organization’s parliamentary dimension.

assembly, its first conference (held in Baku), and the work

Going further, Sahiba Gafarova put Johari Abdul in the
detailed picture as to Azerbaijan’s successful progress and
international activities as well as the extensive work to restore

the 2020 second Karabakh war. It was said that Armenia had
completely devastated all our cities, ravaged the

that such meetings and talks marked the success and productivity of
our inter-parliamentary connexions. Besides, both legislature
leaders stressed the importance of reciprocal visits for further
expansion of bilateral cooperation.
