At the very beginning of the meeting, the traditional Islamic greeting of the guest: 'Eid Mubarak!' [Blessed holiday!]
It was evident that the presidents were glad to have a new personal meeting. And a lot of topics have accumulated since the last negotiations in January. One of the most acute is the implementation of the Moscow agreements between Azerbaijan and Armenia on Nagorno-Karabakh, which put an end to the bloodshed in the region last year.
The conversation, of course, also touched on the economy. After a slight downturn during a pandemic, connections are being restored with confidence. Russia took the third place in terms of trade with Azerbaijan.
Ilham Aliyev also noted clear progress in the restoration of economic ties between the two countries. Separately, the operation of the North-South transport corridor from Helsinki to Mumbai, which passes through Russia and Azerbaijan.
Aliyev said that more than a thousand students are already studying in two branches of Russian universities in Azerbaijan - Moscow State University and the First Medical named after Sechenov. At the same time, 15 thousand Azerbaijani young people study in Russia, and 16 thousand - at the departments of the Russian language in Azerbaijan. Aliyev called them a large cohort of young people connected with Russia by language, communication and education.
