On 2 February 2024, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Jeyhun Bayramov, met with the Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies of the Parliament of the Czech Republic, Markéta Pekarová Adamová.
During the meeting, the importance of mutual visits between the two countries, continuous political dialogue, as well as inter-parliamentary cooperation was emphasized, and the existence of prospects for bilateral economic relations, particularly in the fields of energy, green economy, tourism, agriculture, education, mutual investments and other areas, was noted.
Minister Jeyhun Bayramov emphasized the measures taken by Azerbaijan in the field of environmental protection and transition to renewable energy sources, the hosting by our country of the 29th session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP29), and the importance attached to international commitments in this field.
At the same time, touching upon our country’s transport potential and the development prospects of the Middle Corridor, it was emphasized that the corridor is one of the important international transport routes connecting Europe through the South Caucasus and Central Asia.
Minister Jeyhun Bayramov emphasized that Azerbaijan is a reliable partner of the EU and its member states, and that the application of double standards against our country and the demonstration of an unfair approach do not contribute to the establishment of sustainable peace in the region. He also stated that the initiative of a minority group regarding the adoption of a decision of an anti-Azerbaijan nature in the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe and the non-ratification of the credentials of the Azerbaijani delegation does not serve dialogue.
The Minister emphasized that for the first time in 30 years, real conditions for peace have emerged between Azerbaijan and Armenia, and that the provision of military assistance to Armenia under any pretext by the EU and certain member states, or encouraging Armenia to deviate from the peace process, would undermine the establishment of sustainable peace in the South Caucasus region.
During the meeting, views were exchanged on other current issues on the agenda between the two countries and topics of mutual interest.
