Ilham Aliyev held expanded meeting with President of Laos

On October 13, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev held an expanded meeting with President of the Lao People’s Democratic Republic Thongloun Sisoulith.

Addressing the meeting, President Ilham Aliyev said:

– Once again, welcome, Mr. President. I’m very glad that you accepted my invitation and are visiting Azerbaijan. I’m sure that the visit will strengthen our bilateral ties and create new opportunities for cooperation.

We have just had a tête-à-tête meeting, where we broadly discussed our bilateral agenda, including political and economic areas and areas of mutual interest. And now we’ll continue with the participation of the delegations.

I think that the best result of your visit will be the further strengthening of our political ties. We are good friends, and we cooperate actively on the international arena. And we definitely want to see more active development on the economic track. I looked at some figures; they’re very small, but there is great potential. I think your visit will give a boost to our economic cooperation. And also, as I said during our tête-à-tête meeting, we are ready to consider practical investment projects in your country. And I think the business communities of both sides will explore that opportunity. Also, you will have meetings, as we discussed, with the heads of our parliament and government, where the discussions will continue.

In general, we are very satisfied with the level of political ties. We have met several times on different international occasions, but this is the first official visit by the President of Laos to Azerbaijan, and it definitely has a special status. And also, thank you for attending the CICA Summit. With the unanimous support of all the countries, Azerbaijan was selected to chair CICA and has tried to contribute to the development of this institution over the last two years. And of course, the summit in Baku, with the large participation of heads of state and government and other officials, will definitely strengthen security and cooperation in Asia. And in general, our foreign policy towards Asia is, I think, very dynamic and result-oriented. I wish you a pleasant stay. Once again, welcome to Azerbaijan.

Then, President Thongloun Sisoulith said:

– I am honored and proud to have had this opportunity to lead the high-level delegation from Laos on an official visit to the Republic of Azerbaijan. This visit was undertaken at the gracious invitation of Your Excellency President Ilham Aliyev. I still hold fond memories of my meeting with Your Excellency at the BRICS+ Summit held in Kazan in October 2024, as well as our cordial exchanges at various international forums. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the friendly people of Azerbaijan and to Your Excellency for your leadership and for the warm, gracious, and hospitable welcome extended to me and my delegation from the moment we arrived in this beautiful city of Baku. Having previously visited Azerbaijan and Baku in 1982, more than 40 years ago, and having followed the country’s development over the years, I am now witnessing it firsthand and am profoundly impressed by the rapid progress and transformation of your country. This marks my first official visit to Azerbaijan in my capacity as President of Laos. Since the establishment of diplomatic relations between our two countries in 1995, this is the first visit at the head-of-state level and represents a historic milestone. It further consolidates, expands, and elevates our traditional bonds of friendship and cooperation, ushering in a new era of closer and more effective partnership.

2026,

İlham Aliyev, Laos Cumhurbaşkanı ile kapsamlı bir görüşme gerçekleştirdi.

13 Ekim’de Azerbaycan Cumhuriyeti Cumhurbaşkanı İlham Aliyev, Laos Halk Demokratik Cumhuriyeti Cumhurbaşkanı Thongloun Sisoulith ile genişletilmiş bir görüşme gerçekleştirdi.

Cumhurbaşkanı İlham Aliyev toplantıda yaptığı konuşmada şunları söyledi:

– Tekrar hoş geldiniz, Sayın Başkan. Davetimi kabul ettiğiniz ve Azerbaycan’ı ziyaret ettiğiniz için çok memnunum. Ziyaretin ikili ilişkilerimizi güçlendireceğine ve iş birliği için yeni fırsatlar yaratacağına eminim.

Az önce ikili gündemimizi, siyasi ve ekonomik alanları ve karşılıklı ilgi alanlarımızı geniş bir şekilde ele aldığımız bir görüşme gerçekleştirdik. Şimdi de heyetlerin katılımıyla görüşmelere devam edeceğiz.

Ziyaretinizin en iyi sonucunun siyasi bağlarımızın daha da güçlenmesi olacağına inanıyorum. İyi dostuz ve uluslararası arenada aktif olarak iş birliği yapıyoruz. Ekonomik alanda da daha aktif bir gelişme görmek istiyoruz. Bazı rakamlara baktım; çok küçükler ama büyük bir potansiyel var. Ziyaretinizin ekonomik iş birliğimize ivme kazandıracağına inanıyorum. Ayrıca, özel görüşmemizde de belirttiğim gibi, ülkenizde pratik yatırım projelerini değerlendirmeye hazırız. Her iki tarafın iş çevrelerinin de bu fırsatı değerlendireceğine inanıyorum. Ayrıca, konuştuğumuz gibi, parlamentomuzun ve hükümetimizin başkanlarıyla görüşmeleriniz olacak ve görüşmeler devam edecek.

Genel olarak, siyasi bağların seviyesinden çok memnunuz. Farklı uluslararası vesilelerle birkaç kez bir araya geldik, ancak bu Laos Cumhurbaşkanı’nın Azerbaycan’a yaptığı ilk resmi ziyaret ve kesinlikle özel bir öneme sahip. Ayrıca, CICA Zirvesi’ne katıldığınız için teşekkür ederiz. Tüm ülkelerin oy birliğiyle Azerbaycan, CICA başkanlığına seçildi ve son iki yıldır bu kurumun gelişimine katkıda bulunmaya çalıştı. Ve elbette, devlet ve hükümet başkanlarının ve diğer yetkililerin büyük katılımıyla Bakü’deki zirve, Asya’da güvenlik ve iş birliğini kesinlikle güçlendirecektir. Ve genel olarak, Asya’ya yönelik dış politikamızın çok dinamik ve sonuç odaklı olduğunu düşünüyorum. Keyifli bir ziyaret geçirmenizi dilerim. Tekrar Azerbaycan’a hoş geldiniz.

Ardından Cumhurbaşkanı Thongloun Sisoulith şunları söyledi:

– Laos’tan gelen üst düzey heyete Azerbaycan Cumhuriyeti’ne resmi bir ziyarette başkanlık etme fırsatı bulduğum için onur ve gurur duyuyorum. Bu ziyaret, Sayın Cumhurbaşkanı İlham Aliyev’in nazik daveti üzerine gerçekleşti. Ekim 2024’te Kazan’da düzenlenen BRICS+ Zirvesi’nde Sayın Cumhurbaşkanı ile yaptığım görüşmeyi ve çeşitli uluslararası forumlardaki samimi görüş alışverişlerimizi hâlâ güzel anılar olarak saklıyorum. Azerbaycan’ın dost canlısı halkına ve Sayın Cumhurbaşkanımıza, liderliğiniz ve bu güzel Bakü şehrine vardığımız andan itibaren bana ve heyetime gösterilen sıcak, nazik ve misafirperver karşılama için içten şükranlarımı sunmak istiyorum. Daha önce 1982 yılında, 40 yıldan fazla bir süre önce Azerbaycan’ı ve Bakü’yü ziyaret etmiş ve yıllar içinde ülkenin gelişimini takip etmiştim; şimdi ise bunu bizzat görüyorum ve ülkenizin hızlı ilerlemesinden ve dönüşümünden derinden etkileniyorum. Bu, Laos Cumhurbaşkanı sıfatıyla Azerbaycan’a yaptığım ilk resmi ziyaretimdir. İki ülke arasında 1995 yılında diplomatik ilişkilerin kurulmasından bu yana, bu devlet başkanlığı düzeyindeki ilk ziyaret olup tarihi bir dönüm noktasıdır. Geleneksel dostluk ve iş birliği bağlarımızı daha da pekiştirip genişleterek, daha yakın ve etkili bir ortaklığın yeni bir dönemini başlatmaktadır.

Ilham Aliyev held expanded meeting with Prime Minister of Cambodia

On October 12, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev held an expanded meeting with Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Cambodia Hun Manet.

Addressing the event, President Ilham Aliyev said: Mr. Prime Minister, dear guests, welcome once again to Azerbaijan. I am very glad to host you, and thank you for accepting my invitation and paying an official visit to our country.

We have just had very good discussions on a broad range of issues on our bilateral agenda, and I am sure that there is great potential to strengthen our partnership. As I said during our meeting just now, we have very good political relations, and we need to capitalize on them and use your official visit to Azerbaijan to elaborate a broad roadmap for partnership in different areas. We have already covered some important areas of our interaction, and I am sure there will be more. And definitely, your visit, which is a demonstration of our friendship, will provide a good opportunity to explore all the possibilities for bilateral cooperation, whether in trade, investment, joint manufacturing, energy security, or many other areas.

I would also like to thank you for accepting my invitation to attend the CICA summit, which will be held very soon. This is the first time Azerbaijan is hosting this event. As you know, our chairmanship was unanimously supported. We consider this a clear demonstration of the member states’ respect for our policy, which is based on our sovereignty and independent position. I hope that this important international event will contribute to security in our region and across the broader Eurasian region, something that I believe all countries need.

Once again, Mr. Prime Minister, welcome. I am very glad that you are visiting us with a large delegation. I wish all our guests a pleasant stay in Azerbaijan. I am sure that the visit will yield very good results, further strengthening our friendship and cooperation.

Prime Minister Hun Manet: Mr. President, once again, thank you for your kind invitations to attend the CICA summit and to pay an official visit to Azerbaijan. I am very glad to have the opportunity to visit your beautiful country. I also thank you for the hospitality extended to me and my delegation thus far. As we have just discussed, there is considerable room for engagement and for expanding our cooperation, which was established over 30 years ago.

I would also like to take this opportunity to convey the highest regards of His Majesty King Norodom Sihamoni and former Prime Minister of Cambodia Hun Sen to Your Excellency. I look forward to continuing our discussions on the topics we have just discussed and, beyond that, to identifying concrete steps that our countries can take to further expand our cooperation.

Mr. President, thank you once again for your kind invitations.

President Ilham Aliyev: Thank you. Please convey my greetings to His Majesty the King and to former Prime Minister and Senate President Hun Sen, whom I met 12 years ago in this building.
