German Chancellor Angela Merkel said:
Dear Mr President,
Distinguished Azerbaijani delegates,
I am very glad to be in Azerbaijan. We have already met several times. But it's for the first time that I am visiting this country.
Our relations are multifaceted. We have repeatedly met within international organizations, on the sidelines of international meetings, and I think that this visit will provide a fresh impetus to our relations.
We can also expand our relations in the field of culture. Two hundred years pass since the establishment of the first German colony in Azerbaijan. Some people are not even aware of this fact.
We can enhance our economic relations. Azerbaijan is Germany's largest trade partner in this region.
We will probably touch upon some critical points. This is human rights and humanitarian situation.
We will also talk about a problem which severely impedes this region. This is the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, and Germany wants to support its solution.
