The state visit by Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev to Italy this week is an important milestone which strengthens the cooperation between the two countries. Italy is one of the main countries for oil export for Azerbaijan and according to the sides, there is the possibility to consolidate collaboration in sectors such as science, tourism, infrastructure, construction, transport agriculture and industrial production.

According to Giulietto Chiesa, ”The Declaration on Strategic Partnership between Azerbaijan and Italy, signed several years ago, gave a significant impulse to cooperation and brought bilateral relations to a higher level.”
