An official welcome ceremony was held for the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, in Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia, on April 6.
Operative Information Center-OMM reports that a guard of honor was lined up in honor of President Ilham Aliyev at the venue decorated with the national flags of both nations.
President Ilham Aliyev was welcomed by Georgian President Mikheil Kavelashvili. The chief of the guard of honor reported to the Azerbaijani President, followed by the performance of the national anthems of Azerbaijan and Georgia. The heads of state then passed before the guard of honor and introduced their respective official delegations.
This visit underscores the strategic partnership between Azerbaijan and Georgia, which serves as the backbone for major regional energy and transport projects. Relations between the two neighboring countries are characterized by high-level political dialogue and cooperation within international organizations. Historically, Baku and Tbilisi have collaborated closely on the Southern Gas Corridor and the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway, initiatives that are vital for the connectivity between Europe and Asia.
