By Amina Nazarli
Azerbaijan and Mongolia are considering possibilities to carry out regular flights between the two countries, the State Civil Aviation Administration of Azerbaijan reported.
Negotiations between the delegations of aviation authorities of
the two countries were held in Ulaanbaatar in accordance with the
earlier achieved agreement.
The sides have agreed the draft of “Air Services Agreement between
Azerbaijan and Mongolia“.
They also discussed issues of bilateral cooperation in the field of air transportation and the prospects of scheduled flights between Azerbaijan and Mongolia.
Following the meeting, heads of the delegations signed a protocol, which will serve as a basis for regular passenger and cargo operation’s commencement between Azerbaijan and Mongolia.
The diplomatic relations between Baku and Ulaanbaatar were established in 1992.
Earlier this January President Ilham Aliyev received the credentials of the newly appointed Mongolian Ambassador, Badamdorj Batkhishig.
The head of state said cooperation between the business circles of Azerbaijan and Mongolia was not so active, adding that it was important that the two countries better know each other and correctly direct business and investment opportunities.
