President Ilham Aliyev has said that the next Turkic Council summit led by Azerbaijan will bring its members even closer.

He made the remarks while receiving the credentials of newly appointed Kyrgyz Ambassador Kairat Osmonaliev on October 28.

“As you may know, the next summit of the heads of state of the Turkic Council led by Azerbaijan will be held next month. ... Of course, this summit will bring our countries even closer together. ... As you may know, Azerbaijan has always made great efforts to bring the member countries of our Council closer together,” he said.

The president stated that next month the chairmanship will be transferred to Turkey. He added that there are many issues that need to be resolved within the framework of mutual relations and cooperation between Turkic-speaking countries.

Stating that the existing cooperation potential has not been fully realized in recent years, Aliyev underlined the necessity to pay attention to the economic and trade spheres, which can increase the turnover.

Moreover, noting that Azerbaijan is actively investing outside the country, he noted the possibility to discuss investment projects in Kyrgyzstan in detail.

“Of course, mutual support in the international arena has always brought our countries closer together. I am confident that we will continue to support each other in the UN, in the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and, of course, in the Turkic Council, the CIS and other organizations,” he said.

The president also stated that during the Second Karabakh War “we felt the support of the people of Kyrgyzstan”.

“There were many appeals from citizens expressing solidarity with us, and we appreciate that very much. It is a time of restoration of the destroyed territories of Azerbaijan now, and we are working hard to return the former IDPs to their native lands as soon as possible,” he added.

It was noted that next year will mark the 25th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Friendship and Cooperation between the two countries, and in 2023 the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations.
