Araz Azimov Deputy Foreign Minister Araz Azimov has attended the
opening of the Azerbaijani embassy in Mexico.
It is the first Azerbaijani embassy in Latin America.
Mexican Deputy Foreign Minister Maria de Lourdes Aranda, other Mexican
officials, diplomats, and representatives of the Azerbaijani, Turkish,
Ukrainian and Russian diaspora attended the ceremony, the embassy's
press service reported.
As part of his working visit to Moscow, Araz Azimov had meetings
with Lourdes Aranda and Pablo Macedo, director general of the Foreign
Ministry's United Nations department.
The sides discussed bilateral relations, regional security,
transnational crimes, combating the drugs trade and human trafficking,
exchange of information and cooperation on energy and the non-oil
sector and within the framework of the UN and other international
organizations. They noted that political relations are developing
successfully and referred to the importance of extending cooperation
in the economy, trade, information technology, science and education.
Azimov gave a detailed briefing on the history of the
Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh and
the negotiations on a conflict settlement. He said Armenia's
non-constructive position contradicts the norms and principles of
international law and impedes the resolution of the conflict and the
establishment of a durable peace in the region.
He said that support for Azerbaijan's position during discussions on
the issue at the next meeting of the UN General Assembly would be of
great importance for Azerbaijan.
Araz Azimov later gave a speech on "Azerbaijan and Regional Security"
in the Mexican Foreign Ministry's conference hall.
