Speaker of the Milli Majlis Sahiba Gafarova has had a meeting with the Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassador of the People’s Republic of China in our country Guo Min.

Telling the Ambassador that she was glad to greet her at the Parliament of Azerbaijan, Speaker Sahiba Gafarova mentioned the high growth dynamics demonstrable in the relations between the Republic of Azerbaijan and the People’s Republic of China. The relations between Azerbaijan and China are a strategic partnership by nature; our countries co-operate successfully in many areas. Sahiba Gafarova added that the period of Ms Guo Min’s diplomatic tenure in our country, too, had been marked by the progress of our relations.

The Speaker of the Milli Majlis emphasised that the high-level political dialogue of the Heads of State of Azerbaijan and China, one that is based on mutual trust, had created a solid foundation for the advancement of the comprehensive bilateral relations. Also, the top-notch contacts between the Heads of State have a key role in the deepening and developing the connexions between the two countries in all the areas covered. The five visits of President Ilham Aliyev of Azerbaijan to the People’s Republic of China were brought up in this regard.

Further, the Heydar Aliyev Foundation was talked of as the main driver behind the cultural and humanitarian exchange of the two countries. Several successful projects implemented in conjunction with Chinese People’s Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries were mentioned.

The constantly manifest mutual support over matters of special importance to both our countries was mentioned as well. Azerbaijan has always supported the ‘one China’ policy and China’s territorial integrity and sovereignty unequivocally. China, on its part, has invariably supported our country’s territorial integrity and sovereignty. Amongst other things, our countries provide each other with backing in international organisations, too.

They were discussing issues related to the inter-parliamentary co-operation between Azerbaijan and China; it was stressed that the co-operation served to bring our countries and peoples closer. Both countries’ parliaments have friendship groups in action. It was said then that, on the other hand, there were opportunities to broaden the inter-parliamentary ties further, bilaterally as well as through international organisations.

The Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassador of the People’s Republic of China in our country Guo Min expressed satisfaction with her activities in Azerbaijan before she pointed up the dynamic and steady progress of the connexions between Azerbaijan and China. The diplomat underscored the exceedingly important role of the Heads of State’s relationship in the advancement of our links. According to her, the Chairman of the People’s Republic of China Xi Jinping had sent President Ilham Aliyev a congratulatory letter on the occasion of Mr Aliyev’s victory in the extraordinary presidential election held in our country.

Besides, the diplomat offered her congratulations on the forthcoming hosting of the COP-29 by Azerbaijan.
