The discussions also covered continued mutual support within international organisations, including the United Nations, CICA, and the Non-Aligned Movement, as well as exchanges on regional security issues.
The ministers of the two countries established people-to-people connections as essential for their bilateral relationship which would benefit from increased cultural, tourism, educational and youth program exchanges.
The two parties shared their opinions about regional security matters while discussing the process of rebuilding Azerbaijan after its conflicts, which Baku considered to be a demonstration of China's backing through its demining assistance to ANAMA.
