Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev talked about his relations with the Chairman of the People's Republic of China, Xi Jinping, in an interview with China Global Television Network (CGTN) in Beijing, SİA informs.
“We have very friendly relations. At one meeting, he called me a good friend of China. That was a kind of an award to me. I always enjoy meeting with him and talking to him in a very sincere and open manner. We spent a lot of time during our negotiations, and then we talked throughout the official lunch.
We covered many areas of regional stability, security, international relations. For me, it's always important to know his position, when we share some views between us on different issues, because he's a very experienced statesman, a person I deeply respect, a person who has a very deep knowledge and a very firm position with respect to the national interests of China and, the way he treats the global affairs in general.
As you probably know, Azerbaijan has joined several of President Xi Jinping’s initiatives on development, security, and civilization. We share his view. We were among the first countries to openly support and then join the ‘One Belt, One Road’ initiative, and we have implemented a lot of infrastructure projects on our soil.
So really, it's always a pleasure to meet with him. He is a leader of one of the most powerful countries in the world, but he's a very modest and friendly person. He creates an atmosphere where you feel like you’re speaking with an old friend,” President Ilham Aliyev said.
