President Aliyev: Current period of confrontations requires new attitudes to resolving int’l issues

Baku, Azerbaijan, Nov.29 Trend: Very confidential level of relations has been established between Azerbaijan and Belarus in recent years and these relations are developing very successfully, President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said during his official visit to Belarus. Aliyev made the remarks during the expanded meeting with his Belarusian counterpart Alexander Lukashenko. “We discussed with you what has been done and what we plan to do,” said Aliyev. “But first of all, I would like to heartily congratulate you with your convincing victory in the presidential election.” “The Belarusian people gave great credence to you again and the results of the election are in essence the results of your activities as the country’s head,” said Azerbaijan’s president. “I think that the members of my delegation once again saw with their own eyes that Belarus is developing successfully – rapidly and effectively,” said Aliyev. He pointed out that Minsk has turned into the most beautiful city, adding that it is comfortable and clean. “I am confident that it is pleasant to live, to work here and it is a pleasure to come here,” Aliyev added. “Indeed, our countries have the highest level of relations,” said Azerbaijani president. “You were right when saying that we have been going towards this for a long time.” Throughout the whole period of intensive cooperation which has started little more than 10 years ago, Belarus and Azerbaijan have sufficiently tested each other in various situations, said President Aliyev. “We have tested each other for solidity, reliability and never let each other down,” he added. “Therefore, today, we trust each other and our words are as significant as our signatures on the documents.” “We are glad that Belarus is developing successfully,” said Aliyev. “As you mentioned, it is a difficult time now,” he said. “The economic crisis is coupled with the political crisis and in many countries – with military and political crisis.” “We live in the period of confrontations which naturally requires new approaches to resolving the international issues,” Azerbaijani president said. Under these conditions, the political stability in Belarus is a proof of success, and a guarantee that it will continue this way, according to Aliyev. “Being your friend, we are very glad for this,” he said. “Belarus is a friendly and brotherly country for us.” Aliyev expressed confidence that following his visit to Belarus, the relations between the two countries will develop even more rapidly. During the meeting, Aliyev and Lukashenko discussed the cooperation in the spheres of science, high technologies, mechanical engineering, collaboration in international organizations and other spheres.
