He made the remark at the 8th meeting of the Intergovernmental
Commission on Trade and Economic Cooperation between Azerbaijan and

of principled mutual support within the framework of international
platforms and organizations. The memorandum on the establishment of
the Strategic Partnership Council between Azerbaijan and Serbia,
signed in Belgrade in November 2022 during the official visit of
President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev, reflects the
firm political will of our countries to further deepen bilateral
relations,” Rzayev said.

are also developing. There are also opportunities for cooperation
in the road sector, infrastructure, construction, tourism,
humanitarian sphere, and education,” he noted.
Rzayev also emphasized the importance of the launch of the
agreement on a visa-free regime for holders of ordinary passports
between the governments of Azerbaijan and Serbia, which came into
force last year.

development of tourism and people-to-people contacts.
“We highly appreciate the signing of the Memorandum of
Understanding between the cities of Shusha (Azerbaijan) and Novi
Pazar (Serbia) last March,” Rzayev added, emphasizing that it was
the first such document after the liberation of the city of Shusha
from years of military occupation.
