Azerbaijan, Ukraine strengthen strategic ties in high-level talks

Ukraine’s Ambassador to Azerbaijan, Yuriy Husyev, has met with Azerbaijan’s Deputy Foreign Minister, Samir Sharifov, to discuss key aspects of the strategic partnership between the two nations.

The ambassador shared details of the meeting on Facebook, highlighting their commitment to further cooperation, Caliber.Az reports.

"We have agreed to continue working together to strengthen bilateral relations," Husyev said.

Note that, Azerbaijan and Ukraine continue to strengthen their bilateral relations, with active political dialogue at the highest level driving cooperation across economic, trade, humanitarian, and cultural sectors. The partnership is further bolstered by structured mechanisms such as inter-MFA political consultations, a joint intergovernmental commission on economic cooperation, and an interparliamentary friendship group.

The two nations maintain a robust diplomatic partnership, extending their collaboration beyond bilateral ties into multilateral forums such as the United Nations (UN), the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), the Organization for Democracy and Economic Development (GUAM), and the Black Sea Economic Cooperation (BSEC). Both countries have consistently supported each other on international platforms.

Parliamentary engagement has been a key element of Ukraine-Azerbaijan cooperation. The Azerbaijan-Ukraine interparliamentary working group has been active since 1995 and currently comprises 18 Azerbaijani members.

On January 16, 2020, Ukraine’s Verkhovna Rada established a parliamentary group for interparliamentary relations with Azerbaijan, co-chaired by Valery Kolyukha and Vladimir Kreydenko. The Ukrainian side includes 48 members, reflecting strong legislative ties between the two nations.
