Azerbaijan and the United States held talks in Baku on Tuesday to advance their strategic partnership and address regional security, according to the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry.
Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov met with Wyatt Tulkki, senior adviser at the U.S. State Department’s Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs, and U.S. Chargé d’Affaires Amy Carlon.
Talks focused on bilateral ties, the memorandum establishing a Strategic Working Group to prepare a Charter of Strategic Partnership, and the Armenia-Azerbaijan normalization process within Washington’s mediation framework.
Both sides stressed the importance of reciprocal visits to strengthen cooperation and also exchanged views on wider regional and international security issues.
The meeting builds on momentum in Azerbaijan-U.S. relations, which have been steadily strengthened in recent months. The United States has played a pivotal role in addressing long-standing conflicts in the region, most notably mediating the 8 August 2025 Armenia–Azerbaijan peace deal aimed at ending the Nagorno-Karabakh dispute. Through sustained diplomatic efforts, Washington has facilitated dialogue, promoted confidence-building measures, and supported infrastructure initiatives like the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity (TRIPP), designed to improve regional connectivity and economic integration.
Azerbaijani officials highlighted that the talks also focused on implementing previous agreements, expanding strategic cooperation, and enhancing regional security frameworks. Both sides underscored the importance of ongoing diplomatic engagement, reciprocal visits, and collaborative measures to ensure stability across the South Caucasus.
