The ministers “reviewed the current state and future prospects of Azerbaijan–Montenegro relations, including political dialogue, economic cooperation, humanitarian ties, and engagement on international platforms,” the ministry noted.

High-level reciprocal visits, including that of Montenegro President Jakov Milatović, were highlighted as crucial for maintaining continuity in the bilateral political dialogue.

The ministers also stressed the importance of boosting trade, encouraging investments, strengthening business-to-business contacts, and advancing joint projects. They underscored the effective use of the Joint Intergovernmental Commission on Economic Cooperation as a key instrument in this regard.

Humanitarian cooperation, covering areas such as tourism, culture, and education, was identified as an integral component of the relationship, with both sides welcoming expanded exchanges in these sectors.

In addition, the ministers discussed collaboration within the UN, OSCE, and other multilateral frameworks, reaffirming their commitment to cooperation based on mutual trust.

Regional issues were also on the agenda. Minister Bayramov briefed his counterpart on Azerbaijan’s ongoing efforts toward normalisation and sustainable peace with Armenia, the ministry’s post stated.
