Bilateral diplomatic relations between the Republic of Azerbaijan and the People's Republic of China

 

With the recognition of the independence of Azerbaijan by the People's Republic of China on the 27th of December 1991 and the establishment of bilateral diplomatic relations on the 2nd of April 1992, the Azerbaijani-Chinese relations entered a new stage. The Embassy of the People's Republic of China in the Republic of Azerbaijan was opened in 1992, and the Embassy of the Republic of Azerbaijan in the People's Republic of China was opened on the 3rd of September 1993.

 

Today, Azerbaijan attaches special importance to bilateral relations with the People's Republic of China and is interested in expanding these relations in all sectors of economy.

 

The relations based on mutual trust and friendship between the two countries’ leaders have paved the way for the current high pace of development in the political, economic, military, humanitarian, cultural and other spheres.

 

Thanks to the active political dialogue between Azerbaijan and China, significant progress is being made in such areas as the energy, economy, trade, communications, transport and logistics, tourism and humanitarian activities.

 

It is worth noting that the “One Belt, One Road” initiative, launched by the People's Republic of China in 2013, has created new opportunities for deepening our bilateral relations. As one of the first countries to support the One Belt, One Road initiative, Azerbaijan is making a significant contribution to the implementation of this initiative with its large-scale transport and infrastructure projects.
