President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy had a phone conversation with President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev.
The President of Ukraine expressed gratitude for the provision of medical supplies and equipment in the form of humanitarian aid from Azerbaijan with a total weight of over 23 tons delivered to Kyiv on May 21, 2020.
"Such a friendly gesture of assistance from the Azerbaijani people is especially valuable during the difficult period of the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic," Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.
The parties agreed to further coordinate efforts to overcome the coronavirus pandemic and its consequences.
The interlocutors discussed the course of fulfilment of a number of large-scale projects implemented in Ukraine with the participation of Azerbaijani investors.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed confidence that with the expected completion of quarantine restrictions in Ukraine and Azerbaijan, the traditionally high dynamics of bilateral political dialogue and trade-economic cooperation will be restored. He also suggested paying greater attention to the work in the GUAM organization.
"GUAM can be made a serious union and association for the discussion of important trade and economic issues. We need to breathe new life into this organization," the President of Ukraine stressed.
At the end of the conversation, Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed sincere congratulations to the President of Azerbaijan on the end of the holy month of Ramadan for all Muslims and conveyed best wishes to the Azerbaijani people on the occasion of the national holiday - the Republic Day.
