US President Donald Trump plays a significant role in advancing the peace agenda between Azerbaijan and Armenia, President Ilham Aliyev stated during a meeting with Senator Steve Daines, a member of the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee and chair of the Subcommittee on Europe and Regional Security Cooperation.
Operative Information Center-OMM reports that during the discussions, President Ilham Aliyev highlighted the high level of his personal relationship with US President Donald Trump. The Azerbaijani leader noted that since Donald Trump's election as US President, bilateral relations based on cooperation and mutual trust have developed successfully, reaching the level of strategic partnership. He emphasized that this development is crucial for both nations and the broader region.
The meeting underscores the ongoing diplomatic efforts to normalize relations between Baku and Yerevan. Following the 2020 Patriotic War and the subsequent restoration of Azerbaijan's territorial integrity, the establishment of a lasting peace agreement in the South Caucasus has become a primary focus of Azerbaijan's foreign policy. The involvement of key international partners, including the United States, remains a critical component in facilitating regional stability and long-term security.
