BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 15. Azerbaijan and Türkiye are successfully implementing a roadmap covering 110 measures, steps and projects in the economic sphere alone, Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov said, Trend's correspondent reports from the event.
Bayramov made the remarks while answering journalists’ questions at a joint press conference with Türkiye’s Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan in Baku.
The minister said the declaration covering Azerbaijan-Türkiye relations encompasses all areas.
According to him, the two countries cooperate in various areas, including the economy, investment, trade, defense, security, humanitarian affairs, cooperation in international organizations, joint activities in third countries, and large-scale regional infrastructure projects.
Bayramov noted that a number of priority areas, including new areas of cooperation in alternative energy, were discussed during today’s talks.
“Overall, there is cooperation in every area, and the foundations are very broad. However, life goes on, and new realities create new opportunities, while new opportunities require new approaches,” the minister emphasized.
He said Azerbaijan and Türkiye regularly identify new opportunities and work in this direction.
According to Bayramov, a 110-point roadmap covering the economic sphere alone was adopted following a meeting of the Intergovernmental Commission on Economic Cooperation between the two countries in December 2025.
“This roadmap is not designed for decades; it is intended for a shorter period. In other words, there are 110 measures, steps and projects identified by the commission solely in the economic sphere, and these are being successfully implemented between the two countries,” he said.
The minister emphasized that Azerbaijan-Türkiye cooperation is not limited to diplomatic and political spheres. He also noted cooperation involving the two countries with regional states in trilateral and quadrilateral formats.
Bayramov said that in recent years, particularly following Azerbaijan’s four-year chairmanship of the Non-Aligned Movement, the country has identified relations with African countries as one of its priority areas.
According to him, the number of trade and economic missions to Africa and the number of projects being implemented are increasing, while significant potential exists in this area.
The minister noted that Türkiye is one of the countries with a major diplomatic and economic presence in Africa.
“One of the areas of our joint work is the implementation of joint projects involving Azerbaijan, Türkiye and one or another African country,” Bayramov said.
He also cited the events held last week to mark the 15th anniversary of the Azerbaijan International Development Agency (AIDA) as an example.
Bayramov said that within the conference organized in this regard, joint activities between AIDA and the Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency (TİKA), cooperation between the two countries, and the implementation of joint projects in the field of international assistance were identified as a new area of Azerbaijan-Türkiye cooperation.
The minister noted that listing all areas of Azerbaijan-Türkiye cooperation could require a separate large-scale event, or even one lasting several days.
“All these formats that we have mentioned are aimed precisely at further strengthening coordination and making it more results-oriented,” he emphasized.
Bayramov said he believes Fidan’s visit to Azerbaijan today also serves to further develop this cooperation and strengthen coordination.
