said:

- Honorable Mr. President, first of all, I would like to express my deep gratitude to you for the warm welcome and hospitality I have received since yesterday, and at the same time, I would like to express my condolences regarding the attack on the Azerbaijani Embassy yesterday.

Mr. President, the mutual understanding that manifested itself in all fields during our meeting, the presence of the political will of both sides in the direction of the development of cooperation in political, economic, and other fields gives me confidence that these relations will be further strengthened soon.

At the same time, I am honored to convey our congratulations to you on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the birth of the late President Heydar Aliyev, the National Leader of the Azerbaijani people, a close friend of the Egyptian people.

Of course, good results were also achieved at the meeting of the Azerbaijan-Egypt Intergovernmental Joint Commission held last year.

But I think that even after this visit, the development of relations between our countries in all fields will deepen, based on mutual wishes and existing political will, in the conditions of mutual understanding.

At the same time, Mr. President, we agreed with you that facilitating measures should be taken in our countries for both Azerbaijani and Egyptian investors.

The establishment of joint ventures and joint investments, mainly in the field of pharmaceuticals, is also an agreement reached between us.

As you mentioned, after the list of all medicines needed by Azerbaijan is prepared and presented to us, we will do our work in this direction.
