Ilham Aliyev: Relations between Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan have risen to the highest level - that of alliance
Relations between Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan have risen to the highest level - that of alliance in recent years, President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said in an interview with Uzbekistan National News Agency (UzA), according to SİA.
"The sincere friendship, mutual respect and trust that exist between the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, my dear brother, Shavkat Miromonovich Mirziyoyev, and myself play a special role in strengthening Azerbaijan-Uzbekistan brotherhood, bringing interstate ties to their current level and developing our alliance. President Mirziyoyev"s tireless and determined efforts in the name of the fraternity, unity and alliance between our countries have earned him deep respect and affinity in Azerbaijan," the head of state said.
He noted that relations between the two brotherly countries are based on a shared history, culture, language and moral values, as well as on the unity, solidarity and deep mutual sympathy of the peoples.
"Interstate relations built on this solid foundation have entered a stage of unprecedented development in recent years, risen to the highest level - that of alliance - and acquired entirely new content," Aliyev said.
He noted that political dialogue between the two states is at a very high level.
The head of state added that regular reciprocal visits at the highest level-15 over the past five years-and close contacts provide favorable conditions for the dynamic development and strengthening of these ties.
"Over the past five years, this will be my third state visit and my seventh visit overall to your brotherly country. I always take great pleasure in visiting beautiful and unique Uzbekistan, and each visit has special significance for me. Traditionally, these visits take place in an atmosphere of exceptional hospitality, brotherhood, sincerity and mutual understanding. What particularly delights me when visiting brotherly Uzbekistan is the country's rapid development in all spheres in recent years. The construction of modern cities, the diversification of the economy, the implementation of large-scale infrastructure projects, and the attention paid to science, education, culture and sports clearly demonstrate the rapid rate of the country's growth," he noted.
The head of state reminded that in August 2024, he paid a state visit to Uzbekistan, and in July 2025, the President of Uzbekistan paid a state visit to Azerbaijan.
The numerous documents were signed during these reciprocal visits, in particular the "Declaration on Further Strengthening of Strategic Partnership" and the "Treaty on Allied Relations."
