During the meeting, it was noted that since the restoration of diplomatic relations between the two countries in 1992, friendly relations between Tajikistan and Azerbaijan have steadily developed and strengthened. Over this period, bilateral relations have progressed from regular cooperation to a strategic partnership.
It was emphasized with satisfaction that these relations are underpinned by more than 94 international agreements at the interstate, intergovernmental, and interdepartmental levels, reflecting the effectiveness of the diplomatic efforts of both sides.
“The significant and unique achievements in our bilateral relations,” stated Faizali Idizoda, “are the result of sustained efforts, sincere friendship, and the political will shared between the President of the Republic of Tajikistan, the esteemed Leader of the Nation, Emomali Rahmon, and the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Ilham Heydar oglu Aliyev.”
In this context, he highlighted the role and importance of key documents, including the Declaration of Strategic Partnership between the Republic of Tajikistan and the Republic of Azerbaijan, signed during the state visit of the President of the Republic of Tajikistan to Azerbaijan on 23 May 2024. This declaration will provide additional impetus for the long-term development of bilateral relations.
The Majlisi Namoyandagon will continue to work toward strengthening the partnership and promoting the development of bilateral relations. It supports the expansion and consolidation of regional cooperation, including within international organizations. In this regard, it is considered essential to act from a unified position to enhance the effectiveness of cooperation within the frameworks of the United Nations, the Inter-Parliamentary Union, OSCE, CIS, TRACECA, CICA, ECO, and other international and regional organizations.
