It is necessary to increase awareness in the Netherlands about Azerbaijan's potential, leadership in the South Caucasus, and key role in the Caspian region, Azerbaijani Ambassador to the Netherlands Mammad Ahmadzada said in an interview with The Holland Times, SİA informs.
"This year, we celebrate 33 years of diplomatic relations. The mutual establishment of our embassies in the 2000s gave impetus to our relations, paving the way for official visits, mutual investments, and cultural and educational exchanges. The Azerbaijani community in the Netherlands serves as a bridge connecting our countries. The Netherlands’ high-quality educational system has made it one of the top destinations for numerous Azerbaijani students.
However, much potential remains untapped. I believe there is limited awareness in the Netherlands about this potential, the realities of Azerbaijan, its leadership in the South Caucasus and key role in the Caspian Basin, and its strategic position as a gateway to the wider region, including Central Asia," he noted.
"In addition, perceptions about the former Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict and the post-conflict situation have been heavily influenced by disinformation and fake news.
The recent meetings and contacts at the governmental level, including between foreign ministers, as well as the political consultations between our Ministries of Foreign Affairs in Baku, have been very helpful in understanding our position and the realities in our region.
All these also provided momentum for discussing the issues of common interest and identifying new avenues for cooperation. Positive outcomes are already being seen," he added.
