On November 12, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev met with Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland Andy Burnham in Dublin.

The meeting began with an exchange of the signed copies of the “Joint Declaration on Strategic Partnership between the Republic of Azerbaijan and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.”

During the meeting, it was emphasized that the adoption of the Declaration formally elevated bilateral relations to a qualitatively new level. It was also noted that relations between Azerbaijan and the United Kingdom had already been characterized by a strategic partnership even before the adoption of the document.

Referring to more than 30 years of successful energy cooperation between the two countries, President Ilham Aliyev noted that the United Kingdom is the largest European investor in Azerbaijan.

Both sides highlighted the considerable potential for expanding cooperation in renewable energy, advanced technologies, and artificial intelligence. In this regard, the two leaders underscored the significance of the high-level official visits to Azerbaijan from the United Kingdom and the discussions held during those visits in recent months.

The two sides also exchanged views on matters of international concern.
