While on an official visit to Baku, Serbian Foreign Minister Nikola Selakovic has said that the “excellent relations” between Serbia and Azerbaijan are founded on mutual understanding and a shared commitment to international law.

Following a meeting with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev on July 25, Minister Selakovic stated that their talk reaffirmed the excellent relations between the two countries which are bound by the strategic partnership agreement, as well as their mutual support of each other’s territorial integrity and sovereignty, the Serbian Foreign Ministry’s statement reads.

Selakovic thanked Azerbaijan on its “clear position of non-recognition” of Kosovo’s independence and support in international organizations.

The two officials then discussed the enhancement of their countries economic cooperation, as well as collaboration in the areas of agriculture, construction, transportation, sports, education and health.

The Serbian foreign minister and the president of Azerbaijan also spoke about the latter’s bilateral visit to Serbia planned for October 10. Selakovic said the visit is of great importance given the fact that it would be the first time in 10 years that the head of the Azerbaijani state makes an official trip to Serbia, it further says in the ministry’s report.

The sixth sitting of the Intergovernmental Commission on Trade and Economic Cooperation between Serbia and Azerbaijan, co-chaired by Serbian Foreign Minister Nikola Selakovic and Azerbaijani Labor and Social Protection Minister Sahil Babjev, is planned for July 27. A business forum is scheduled for the same day, wherein both Serbian and Azerbaijani businesses and companies are to take part.
