Deputy Prime Minister, Deputy Chairman and Executive Secretary of the New Azerbaijan Party (YAP), Ali Ahmadov met with leader of the Party of Socialists of the Republic of Moldova Zinaida Greceanîi and Deputy Chairman of the Office of the President of Moldova Nikolai Posturus.

Ahmadov noted that fruitful cooperation exists between Azerbaijan and Moldova, adding that the positions of the two countries coincide on many issues.

Vice-Premier added that the relations between the ruling parties of both countries are also at a high level.

Greceanîi, in turn, said that over the past 20 years, Azerbaijan and Moldova have developed strong economic ties, further adding that the visit of President of Moldova Igor Dodon to Azerbaijan will stimulate the bilateral ties between the countries.

Igor Dodon was received by the Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev on June 22.

Diplomatic relations between the two countries were established on May 29, 1992. Azerbaijan opened its Embassy in Chisinau on October 5, 2005 and Moldova opened its Embassy in Baku on November 1, 2005.

The trade turnover between Azerbaijan and Moldova amounted to $3.75 million in January-November 2016, some $3.25 million of which fell for imports from Moldova, according to the Azerbaijan’s State Customs Committee.

The number of exported products will increase between the two countries, as this year Azerbaijan will export horseflesh to Moldova.
