We are ready to discuss a number of issues of interest pertaining to energy cooperation and economic activities, including a settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. We are embarking on a new stage in our rapidly developing bilateral relations.

I am aware of the mutual interest in the economic sphere. Meetings will be held between our business people. There are also good results in the cultural field. I think we can be pleased with the level of our cooperation. Of course, your visit will further strengthen these relations, which will produce excellent results.

Let me welcome you to Azerbaijan again!
