Azerbaijan and Slovakia are set to strengthen bilateral ties and cooperation as President Ilham Aliyev meets Richard Raši, Speaker of the National Council of the Slovak Republic on Tuesday, 9 December.
Speaker Raši warmly welcomed the Azerbaijani leader in Bratislava, praising the strong diplomatic bonds between the two nations.
During the talks, the two leaders reviewed prospects for deepening cooperation and highlighted the importance of the Joint Declaration on Strategic Partnership signed earlier between the two nations.
They discussed collaboration in energy security, trade, and regional connectivity, emphasizing Azerbaijan’s role as a reliable energy supplier to Europe.
Speaking after the meeting, President Pellegrini described the visit as a “new stage in Slovak–Azerbaijani relations,” while President Aliyev said the partnership between the two countries was already “strategic in nature.”
President Ilham Aliyev also participated in an expanded meeting with Slovak officials.
Speaking to AnewZ on Daybreak, Member of Parliament of Azerbaijan Tural Ganjali said the visit marks “a new era” in Azerbaijan–Slovakia relations at a time of rising geopolitical uncertainty in Europe.
Ganjali added that despite geographical distance, the two countries have “common goals and mutual interests that strengthen political dialogue and deepen cooperation.”
He also stressed Azerbaijan’s central role in the Middle Corridor, noting that the transit route “cannot function without Azerbaijan’s participation and contribution.”
Ganjali said the project represents a major opportunity for Slovakia and the European Union, with Azerbaijan acting as a gateway to Central Asia, the South Caucasus, and the Caspian region.
Ongoing investments in infrastructure, including the expansion of the ALAT seaport — further enhance Azerbaijan’s ability to connect Europe and Asia, making the Middle Corridor a vital component of future trade, logistics, and regional connectivity.
