Azerbaijan's Deputy Foreign Minister Elnur Mammadov paid a courtesy call on President Ramchandra Paudel today.
In the meeting held at the Office of the President - Sheetal Niwas - in Kathmandu today, President Paudel expressed his happiness over the new development between the two countries' relations.
It may be noted that Nepal and Azerbaijan held the first-ever political consultation on last Wednesday upon the arrival of Azerbaijan's Deputy Foreign Minister Mammadov on last Wednesday itself.
President Paudel, during today's courtesy meeting, underlined the need to identify the areas of cooperation between the two countries for broader collaboration in the future.
Recalling his representation of Nepal to the global climate conference-COP-29- held in Azerbaijan in November, 2024, the President said that he was confident about the relations between Nepal and Azerbaijan becoming stronger in the future.
In reciprocity, visiting Deputy Foreign Minister Mammadov asserted that President Paudel's visit to Azerbaijan had added a new dimension between the two countries.
No Memorandum of Agreement (MoU) had been signed between Azerbaijan and Nepal in the past 30 years, said the visiting Azerbaijan's Deputy Foreign Minister, adding that the preparatory work is currently underway to ink such an agreement between the two countries. (RSS)
