President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy arrived in Azerbaijan on a working visit on April 25. President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev held a one-on-one meeting with President Zelenskyy in the city of Gabala, followed by an expanded meeting involving delegations from both nations.
According to the Operative Information Center-OMM, the leaders expressed satisfaction with their previous meetings and emphasized that this visit provides a significant opportunity to discuss bilateral cooperation. The discussions focused on expanding ties in various sectors, particularly energy and agriculture, while also reviewing the activities of the Intergovernmental Commission. President Zelenskyy expressed gratitude to President Ilham Aliyev for Azerbaijan's humanitarian support and the care provided to Ukrainian children. It was noted that a group of Ukrainian students is scheduled to visit Azerbaijan soon for rehabilitation and to experience the country's culture and art.
Azerbaijan and Ukraine maintain a strategic partnership characterized by mutual support for territorial integrity and sovereignty. Since the beginning of the conflict in Ukraine, Azerbaijan has provided extensive humanitarian aid, including energy equipment and medical supplies. Gabala, where the meeting took place, is a major cultural and tourism hub in Azerbaijan, frequently hosting high-level international diplomatic events and forums.
