KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 3 (Bernama) -- Azerbaijan's Foreign Minister, Jeyhun Bayramov, met with Dewan Negara Deputy President Datuk Nur Jazlan Mohamed and his accompanying delegation on Monday.
Azerbaijan National News Agency (AZERTAC) reported that the Malaysian delegation had arrived in Azerbaijan to observe the snap parliamentary elections for the country’s unicameral legislative body, the Milli Majlis.
The meeting included discussions on Azerbaijani-Malaysian bilateral and multilateral relations, the process and results of the early elections to the Milli Majlis, as well as regional issues.
Bayramov provided details on the steps taken to ensure that the snap parliamentary elections, like the presidential elections earlier this year, were free, fair, and transparent.
He also highlighted the involvement of international observers and the efforts made to create the necessary conditions for the elections to meet legislative requirements and international standards.
Bayramov described the recent parliamentary elections, held for the first time in Azerbaijan's liberated territories following the presidential elections, as a historic milestone.
He emphasised that the elections were conducted at a high standard, fully meeting international requirements and adhering to the legislative framework.
During the meeting, both parties explored avenues for cooperation between Azerbaijan and Malaysia, discussing prospects for developing bilateral relations, including joint efforts in tourism and education.
They also noted that the upcoming political consultations, a continuation of those held in Kuala Lumpur in July of the previous year, are scheduled to take place in Baku.
They highlighted the successful cooperation between the two countries within various regional and international organisations, including the United Nations (UN), the Non-Aligned Movement, and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation.
Both sides also exchanged views on other issues of mutual interest.
