Azerbaijan congratulates Albania on National Day PHOTO

The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry has congratulated Albania on its National Day.

"On the occasion of the National Day of the Republic of Albania, we extend our warmest congratulations and best wishes to the Government and People of Albania. Looking forward to further deepening of cooperation between Azerbaijan and Albania. Happy National Day, Albania!” Caliber.Az cites the ministry as saying on its Twitter.

Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev's visit to Albania on 15 November 2022 was the first state visit. Some describe the official visit as the opening of a new page in bilateral relations between two countries. It is worth noting that diplomatic relations between the two countries were established on September 22, 1993, and over the past 30 years, they have been cooperating in various fields such as culture, trade, security and energy. Also, political contacts between Baku and Tirana are at a high level as Albania has been always supporting the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Azerbaijan. Specifically, the Albanian position on the Karabakh issue has formed the backbone for extending bilateral relations between Baku and Tirana.
