Speaker of the Milli Majlis Sahiba Gafarova who is in the Republic of Montenegro on an official visit has had a meeting with Deputy Prime Minister of that country Alexa Bečić.

They had a thorough exchange of views upon the issues of co-operation between our countries and their parliaments.

It was said that the growth indicators of the Azerbaijani-Montenegrin co-operation on record in several areas made it possible to broaden the ties in other fields as well.

Montenegrin DPM pointed up the strategic partnership characterising the relations between the two countries and said that his country attached a great importance to those ties.

Speaker of the Milli Majlis Sahiba Gafarova recalled the previous conversation with Alexa Bečić and said that the co-operation between our legislatures promoted the advance of the relations between Azerbaijan and Montenegro as a whole.

Speaker Sahiba Gafarova informed DPM Bečić of the current situation in the region, our country’s peace initiatives, the tremendous construction and reclamation work Azerbaijan is doing in Garabagh and East Zangazur, and the large projects implemented over there.

It was stressed that economic ties amounted to one of the principal components of our countries’ bilateral relations. Azerbaijan’s role as a dependable partner in diversifying European energy supplies was brought up and, in this connexion, the potential of our two countries to expand co-operation in that area was mentioned. They also underlined the demonstrable steady growth trend in the tourism sector, Azerbaijan’s significant role as a transit host equipped  with modern transport infrastructure, and relevant co-operation opportunities. It was pointed out that a continued growth of our ties in education, sciences, culture, youth and sports would foster the strengthening of the relations between our countries and contacts amongst people.

There was also an exchange of views regarding other matters of interest to both parties.
