Noting the formation of a new government and the election of a new chancellor in Germany, Ambassador Wolfgang Manig hailed the importance attached to strengthening relations with Azerbaijan.

FM Bayramov also briefed the German Ambassador on the latest situation in the region, including the steps taken by Azerbaijan to normalize relations with Armenia.
