Baku, Amman strengthen bilateral cooperation

Azerbaijani Ambassador to Jordan, Eldar Salimov, has met with Amman Mayor Yousef Al Shawarbeh to discuss enhancing cooperation between the two capitals.

The sides explored various prospects for cooperation, Caliber.Az reports via local media.

Ambassador Salimov praised Amman's development and reiterated the Azerbaijani government's commitment to advancing bilateral relations with Jordan.

The foundation for this partnership was established in 2007 when a protocol on friendship and cooperation was signed between the Executive Power of Baku City and the Amman Municipality.

The protocol on the establishment of diplomatic relations between Azerbaijan and Jordan was signed on February 13, 1993. Political relations between Azerbaijan and Jordan have reached a high level and this created a favourable basis for comprehensive cooperation.

Over the years, the exchange of visits, meetings and contacts, as well as direct relations between the business circles have enriched the agenda of bilateral cooperation in economic, tourism, trade, culture, education and other fields.
