He welcomed the dynamics in flight routes.
Tawfiq bin Fawzan Al-Rabiah said that the facilitation of the visa arrangements for citizens of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia by Azerbaijan has given a serious impetus to cooperation in the field of tourism, and pointed out that his country has also taken steps to simplify the visa issuing process for Azerbaijani citizens.
