The meeting focused on the current state and prospects of bilateral and multilateral relations between Azerbaijan and China, as well as regional and international matters.

Both ministers hailed the high level of political dialogue and the momentum generated by the comprehensive strategic partnership established between the two countries in 2025, which has elevated relations to a qualitatively new level. They emphasized that the numerous agreements signed during the state visit of the President of Azerbaijan to China last April have further strengthened cooperation across multiple areas.

The parties highlighted the importance of expanding collaboration based on mutual trust and respect in trade and economics, transport and logistics, energy, renewable energy, industry, digital transformation, agriculture, humanitarian aid, and education. They also lauded joint efforts on the Middle Corridor and the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route.

The ministers noted that strengthening people-to-people ties through education, culture, tourism, and youth exchanges is central to the sustainable development of bilateral relations.

The meeting also reviewed global and regional security challenges, as well as cooperation plans within the Central Asian format.
