Relations between Serbia and Azerbaijan have reached a new level in recent years, characterised by intensified political dialogue and expanding economic cooperation, Serbian Ambassador to Azerbaijan Dragan Vladisavljević said.

Speaking at a reception marking Serbia's Statehood Day and Armed Forces Day in Baku, the ambassador expressed confidence that cooperation between Baku and Belgrade would continue to develop along an upward trajectory, Caliber.Az reports per local media. 

"In recent years, we have witnessed a substantial revival of bilateral political activity, an increase in mutual visits and contacts between officials of the two countries, as well as significant growth in economic ties and trade turnover," he said.

He noted that Serbia has invested considerable effort and resources in building a modern army and strengthening friendly relations with many countries worldwide.

"Among these friendly ties, particularly valuable are those that have withstood the test of time and circumstances. Such are our relations with Azerbaijan, based on similar historical experiences, full mutual understanding and a shared commitment to the values and objectives facing our nations," Vladisavljević said.

He added that for 29 years Azerbaijan and Serbia have consistently developed a strategic partnership, ensuring full coordination in foreign policy and on issues of mutual interest.
