Serbia’s support for the COP29 conference in Baku is another example of our friendly relations.
As Day.Az reports with reference to Trend, the Minister of Labor and Social Protection of the Population of Azerbaijan Sahil Babayev said this at an event dedicated to the Statehood Day of the Republic of Serbia.
“The high level of political dialogue between Azerbaijan and Serbia undoubtedly stems from the wise foresight of the leaders of the two countries, sincere friendship and the great importance they attach to cooperation. The memorandum on the establishment of the Strategic Partnership Council, signed on November 23, 2022, once again proves that “Azerbaijan and Serbia are friendly countries and strategic partners in the true sense of the word. And Serbia’s support for the COP29 conference in Baku is another example of our friendly relations,” the minister said.
Sahil Babayev emphasized that Serbia is also a new partner of Azerbaijan in diversifying the European gas market.
“The launch of the Serbia-Bulgaria gas interconnector in Nis in December 2023, along with the diversification of Serbia’s supply sources, will make a significant contribution to European energy security,” he said.
The minister added that there is a strong legal framework between Azerbaijan and Serbia, and that over the past 27 years, more than 50 agreements, contracts and other documents have been signed, covering various areas of cooperation.
“The activities of the Joint Intergovernmental Commission are crucial for strengthening cooperation between the two countries. To date, the Commission has held 7 meetings. The last meeting of the Commission was held on April 28, 2023. Our growing cooperation is also reflected in the expansion of economic ties. Cooperation in the field of energy, transport infrastructure, air transport, defense industry, agriculture, tourism and other areas are in the focus of attention of both sides,” said Sahil Babayev.
