Khankendi /Azerbaijan/, July 20 /Xinhua/ — "We have reached one of the highest levels of interstate relations with the People's Republic of China," Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev said on Saturday, answering a question from a Xinhua correspondent during the third Shusha Global Media Forum held in the city of Khankendi.
Speaking about the Azerbaijani-Chinese relations, President I. Aliyev emphasized that they are at the stage of “comprehensive strategic partnership”. “We have met with Chairman Xi Jinping several times – last year on the sidelines of the international summit and this year during the state visit. As a result, two key documents were signed: on strategic partnership and on comprehensive strategic partnership,” he said.
I. Aliyev particularly emphasized Azerbaijan's support for the one-China principle. "We have always supported China's territorial integrity, including Taiwan and other sensitive issues," he stressed.
The head of state also noted that the visa regime between the two countries has been significantly simplified: “Azerbaijan abolished visas for Chinese citizens a year ago, and just the other day China abolished visas for Azerbaijani citizens. This will give new impetus to exchanges between students, tourists and businessmen.”
He also recalled that Baku actively supports the Belt and Road initiative and invests in transport and logistics infrastructure.
“We see great potential, especially in logistics and trade,” he noted, adding that Chinese container trains are increasingly passing through Azerbaijan, which contributes to the growth of the country’s transit potential.
I. Aliyev also named energy partnership among the key areas. “Chinese companies are participating in the construction of solar power plants, supplying panels, and recently cooperation has begun in the field of wind energy,” he noted.
On July 19, the third Shusha Global Media Forum opened in Khankendi on the topic “Digital Transitions: Strengthening Information and Media Resilience in the Age of Artificial Intelligence.” –0–
