On October 2, 2023, Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov received the incoming Latvian Ambassador to Azerbaijan Edgars Skuja.

Minister Jeyhun Bayramov congratulated the ambassador on his appointment and wished him success in his future activities, Caliber.Az reports, citing the Foreign Ministry that Ambassador Edgars Skuja presented a copy of his credentials to the Azerbaijani minister.

During the meeting, issues of cooperation between Azerbaijan and Latvia, as well as the current regional situation, were discussed.

Minister Jeyhun Bayramov informed the opposite side in detail about the occupation of Azerbaijani territories for almost 30 years, the current situation in the region in the post-conflict period, the process of normalizing relations between Azerbaijan and Armenia, as well as the country’s efforts to establish peace and creation.

It was brought to the attention that illegal Armenian armed groups were withdrawn from the region during the 30-year occupation as a result of anti-terrorist measures taken by Azerbaijan, and the process of their disarmament has now been completed.

It was noted that the cessation of the existence of illegal Armenian armed groups, in turn, created opportunities for advancing the peace process between Azerbaijan and Armenia, as well as the process of reintegration of Armenian residents living in the Karabakh region, and in this regard, Azerbaijan is determined to intensify efforts in both directions.

Ambassador Edgars Skuja thanked for the warm welcome and said that during his activities he would make every effort to further develop relations between Azerbaijan and Latvia.
