Last week, a distinguished guest visited Belarus. Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko have always been in warm relations. Minsk and Baku are not only good friends, they cooperate in all spheres: equipment, products, even high-speed trains, that we send to the Transcaucasian country.
In any business, it is impossible to stand still - this was noted by the leaders of the two countries. Reaching a new level is what our states need. A decent foundation has been created over the years.
The basis of fraternal relations was laid 25 years ago, when two independent countries established diplomatic corridors. Since then, the Belarusians are met in Baku as relatives.
The famous Ganja Automobile Plant, a blend of the Belarusian-Azerbaijani cooperation, has assembled the 10,000th tractor Belarus.
Education in Belarus and medical tourism in our sanatoriums are popular in the eastern country.
The theme of cooperation is the main one in the dialogue between the two presidents. Minsk and Baku reach the turnover of an average of 330 million dollars a year. Growth is observed every year, but Azerbaijan is especially interested in dynamic development.
Three years ago, Baku held the first European Games. Tens of thousands of guests, new stadiums and the new tournament that left no one indifferent. Now the Olympic torch is in the Belarusian field.
The threads of cooperation hold Minsk and Baku even stronger. It seems there is not a single sphere where our paths do not intersect.
