On May 4, President Ilham Aliyev hosted a working dinner in honor of the President of the Council of Ministers of the Italian Republic, Giorgia Meloni. The event was organized to mark the high-level diplomatic engagement between the two nations.
According to official sources, the meeting provided an opportunity for the leaders to discuss the expanding bilateral cooperation and strategic partnership between the Republic of Azerbaijan and Italy. The discussions emphasized the importance of continued dialogue on regional and international issues of mutual interest.
Italy remains one of Azerbaijan's most significant economic partners in the European Union, particularly within the energy sector. The relationship is underpinned by the Strategic Partnership Document signed between the two countries, as well as their collaboration on the Southern Gas Corridor, which is vital for Europe's energy security. This visit serves to further consolidate the political and economic ties between Baku and Rome.
