Azerbaijan`s Minister of Foreign Affairs Jeyhun Bayramov has held a telephone conversation with Minister of Foreign Affairs and European Integration of the Republic of Moldova Oleg Tulea.

During the phone conversation initiated by the Moldovan side, Minister Tulea congratulated Bayramov on his appointment as the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

They exchanged views on a number of issues on the bilateral cooperation agenda, including the expansion of relations in political, economic, trade and other areas.

Minister Tulea thanked Azerbaijan for its support rendered to Moldova in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. They emphasized the significance of international solidarity and cooperation in combating the global health crisis.

FM Bayramov highlighted Armenia’s recent provocative activities raising tensions in the region, including provocative statements and actions by the Armenian leadership.
