President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said:
– Dear Emomali Sharifovich,
Thank you.
First of all I thank you for inviting me to visit you beautiful country. I am happy to be here again, and I see beautiful changes. In a short period of time I will see other changes too. All this reflects rapid development of your country. As your friends this makes us very happy, and we certainly have big hopes that the potential of our bilateral cooperation will be strengthened.
We have strong ties. We are friends, partners. This is a visit of a friend, partner. We also hope that this visit will encourage rapid development of our economic relations. Because we agree that our trade is not at the desired level. This is why our delegation includes representatives of business circles, and many ministers. So I believe that we will yield positive results.
