Baku seeks to expand ties with Latin American countries
Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov has expressed his country`s keenness to expand relations with Latin American countries as he met with incoming Colombian Ambassador Marta Ines Galindo Pena.

The diplomatic relations between the two countries were established in September 1994. The sides repeatedly noted the necessity of expanding cooperation between the two countries in the fields of energy, agriculture, tourism, and engineering.
The relations between the two countries successfully develop in various areas, as well as in political sphere. Colombia supports the position of Azerbaijan in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
Colombia became the second Latin American country after Mexico, whose parliament recognized the Khojaly tragedy as genocide.
