Highlighting recent diplomatic milestones, both sides pointed to the Joint Statement on the Establishment of a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, signed in April 2025, as a pivotal moment in bilateral relations. This agreement, officials noted, has ushered in a new era of cooperation, creating a solid foundation for broader engagement across political, economic, and cultural spheres.

The visit was seen as instrumental in laying the groundwork for upcoming initiatives aimed at enhancing connectivity, trade, and technological collaboration.

During the talks, Asadov and Su Hui exchanged views on the future trajectory of Azerbaijani-Chinese relations and explored opportunities in sectors such as infrastructure development, energy, logistics, education, and digital innovation. The sides expressed readiness to build upon existing achievements and pursue mutually beneficial projects that support regional integration and global economic resilience.
