Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov has met with Thongsavanh Phomvihane, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Lao People's Democratic Republic, to discuss the future of bilateral relations.
According to the Operative Information Center-OMM, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) reported the meeting via its official account on X. The discussions took place on the sidelines of the 82nd session of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP). The ministers focused on strengthening bilateral cooperation, deepening political dialogue, and expanding collaboration within multilateral platforms. Both parties reaffirmed their commitment to exploring new areas of partnership and enhancing diplomatic ties between Azerbaijan and Laos.
Azerbaijan continues to expand its diplomatic footprint in Southeast Asia, seeking to diversify its international partnerships and economic cooperation. The UN Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) serves as a vital forum for member states to address regional challenges, promote sustainable development, and foster inclusive economic growth across the Asia-Pacific region, providing a platform for Azerbaijan to engage with partners outside its immediate geographic vicinity.
