Russia, Azerbaijan to sign border deal during Medvedev's visit
MOSCOW – Russian and Azerbaijani presidents will sign a border delimitation deal during Dmitry Medvedev's visit to Baku to be held in September, the Russian foreign minister said in an interview with Azerbaijani media.
The exact date of the visit is yet to be announced.
"The main point on the agenda of the forthcoming visit will be signing the Agreement on state border and the Agreement on the rational use of water resources of the Samur River," Sergei Lavrov said.
He said the leaders of the two states have been working hard on the document in the past years. The agreement was finalized during last year's meeting between Medvedev and Azerbaijani President Ilkham Aliyev in Baku.
The Russian foreign minister praised Azerbaijan as "our important strategic partner in South Caucasus and in the Caspian Region."
"Our relations are on the rise. They are multifaceted, so the whole spectrum of these relations is traditionally being discussed at a meeting between the two leaders. I'm sure this meeting will not be an exception," Lavrov added.
