Over these years, Azerbaijan has become a rapidly developing state with an increasingly prominent role in regional and international affairs. Throughout this journey, Uzbekistan and Azerbaijan have stood together, drawing on shared historical and cultural roots. Today, our countries enjoy allied relations, with cooperation spanning trade, energy, transport and humanitarian ties.

This year holds particular significance for Azerbaijan’s closer engagement with Central Asia as a whole. Its participation in the Avaza summit as a full member opened new opportunities for cooperation in the C6 format and strengthened ties across the Caspian Sea.

We wish brotherly Azerbaijan peace, prosperity and continued success!
