During a joint press statement with his Slovak counterpart in Shusha, the head of state emphasized that trade, economic relations, energy, military-technical cooperation, and other areas are priorities.

Aliyev said he is confident that relations will continue to develop: "We held very sincere and open discussions on all these issues. Members of the delegations are in constant contact. The visit of the President of Slovakia will continue tomorrow in Baku. Once again, I thank him for accepting my invitation and making his visit to Karabakh. This once again demonstrates how sincere and cordial our relations are. I am confident that our relations will continue to develop. Because we are advocates of concrete actions."

The Azerbaijani leader added that both countries attach great importance to bilateral relations:

"I can say that a very strong partnership has been established in recent years. At the same time, the President of Slovakia, Peter Pellegrini, is not visiting Azerbaijan for the first time. He was the first among high-ranking officials from Slovakia - he visited Azerbaijan while still in his previous position. Both as Speaker of Parliament and as Prime Minister - and as President- he participated in our international climate conference. Today, he is also in Azerbaijan on an official visit."
