Addressing the meeting, President Ilham Aliyev

– Dear Mr. President, my dear brother,

Welcome to Azerbaijan, welcome to Karabakh. I am sure that your
visit will give a new impetus to the brotherly and friendly
relations between our countries. We meet quite often, both in
Azerbaijan and in the United Arab Emirates. You visited Azerbaijan
twice last year. A few months ago this year, I visited your
country. Your visit today is of particular importance because you
are visiting Karabakh, the lands liberated from occupation, and
this makes us, the entire Azerbaijani people, very happy. Our
relations are built on a foundation of brotherhood and friendship.
The numerous documents signed today will raise our relations to a
new level. Each document signed is of great importance. Among them,
I would like to specifically mention the Joint Declaration on
Comprehensive Strategic Partnership. This is a document that raises
our political relations to the highest level.

Our political relations are developing very successfully. We
always stand by each other in international organizations. We
support each other. We are very pleased with the recent mutual
investments. Cooperation in the oil and gas sector is deepening.
Among the documents signed today, cooperation in the transport
sector has great prospects. We are particularly grateful to your
country and your country’s companies for providing us with great
support in the development of renewable energy in Azerbaijan. The
companies of the United Arab Emirates are our strategic partners
here, the main investors, and the construction and investment in
the first Solar Power Plant commissioned in Azerbaijan were made
possible thanks to your country’s support for us. You know that our
plans are broader, and the production of several gigawatts of
renewable energy in Azerbaijan in the near future will be possible
precisely as a result of your personal instructions and the
operation of your country’s companies.

We are working on other investment projects. The composition of
today’s delegations is an indicator in itself. This shows how
multifaceted, deep, sincere, and productive our relations are.

My dear brother, I would like to thank you once again for your
visit to Karabakh. Welcome to Azerbaijan, welcome to Karabakh!
