On May 12, during an official visit to Bahrain, Azerbaijan’s Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov held talks focused on strengthening parliamentary diplomacy and exchanging views on regional security issues.
According to Azerbaijan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the discussions focused on enhancing inter-parliamentary cooperation between the two nations, as well as regional and international security issues of mutual concern.
The two sides highlighted the importance of expanding bilateral and multilateral relations grounded in friendship, mutual respect, and understanding. Emphasis was placed on the role of parliamentary diplomacy in strengthening ties between the Azerbaijani and Bahraini peoples, including through reciprocal visits and exchanges among lawmakers.
The parties expressed satisfaction with the growing collaboration between Azerbaijan and Bahrain within multilateral platforms such as the United Nations, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, and the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM). Azerbaijan thanked Bahrain for its support of the NAM Parliamentary Network and its successful hosting of the network’s second meeting in Manama.
Minister Bayramov also briefed his Bahraini counterpart on the post-conflict situation in the South Caucasus region, particularly Azerbaijan’s large-scale reconstruction efforts in territories recently liberated from occupation. He also emphasized the threat posed by landmines and Azerbaijan’s ongoing demining operations.
The conversation further touched on the Armenia-Azerbaijan normalization process. Bayramov noted significant progress in bilateral peace talks, including the finalization of a draft peace treaty. However, he also pointed to continuing territorial claims against Azerbaijan in Armenia’s constitution and certain legislative acts as a key obstacle to lasting regional peace.
The meeting concluded with a broad exchange of views on other bilateral and regional issues of common interest.
