Ukrainian, Azerbaijani FMs discuss bilateral ties

The new Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha‎ and Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov had a telephone conversation.

The sides discussed issues of bilateral and multilateral ties, Caliber.Az reports, citing Sybiha’s X page.

“We reaffirmed our mutual respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity. I expect our cooperation to reflect the friendly ties between our peoples,” Sybiha‎ noted.

Last week, Ukraine's parliament appointed Andriy Sibiha as the country's new foreign minister.

Sibiha succeeds Dmytro Kuleba, who had headed the foreign ministry since 2020 but was ousted on September 4 as President Volodymyr Zelensky launched the biggest government reshuffle since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion.

Sibiha was previously Zelenskyy's deputy chief of staff and was promoted to first deputy foreign minister in April.
