Noting that Azerbaijan remains a reliable strategic partner for Ukraine, the minister expressed confidence that the Ukrainian-Azerbaijani cooperation, including at the level of Foreign Ministries, would continue to develop effectively on the basis of trust and mutual understanding, and joint efforts would affect the realization of ambitious goals in the international arena.

Congratulating each other, the ministers wished the two friendly peoples peace, tranquility and prosperity.
