Hikmet Hajiyev: Azerbaijan and the UAE are like-minded countries and strategic partners

Azerbaijan and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) are like-minded countries and strategic partners that, by joining efforts, contribute to strengthening peace and stability in the region.

As Report informs, this was stated by Hikmet Hajiyev, Assistant to the President of Azerbaijan and Head of the Foreign Policy Affairs Department of the Presidential Administration, speaking at the Arab Media Forum in Dubai.

According to him, Azerbaijan continues to develop its multifaceted geopolitical identity.

"One of our identities is connected with the South Caucasus, another with the Middle East, since Azerbaijan is part of the broader Islamic civilization. In the wider Middle East region, we see that there may be a certain geographical distance between the United Arab Emirates and Azerbaijan," he noted.

At the same time, Hajiyev emphasized that Azerbaijan and the UAE are like-minded countries and strategic partners.

"We speak with one voice and believe that our countries, by combining joint efforts, contribute to ensuring peace and security in our region," the presidential assistant added.
