Azerbaijan and Thailand have formally launched their first round of political consultations, marking a significant step in strengthening bilateral relations and expanding cooperation across diplomatic, economic and multilateral spheres.

The inaugural consultations were held as senior officials from both sides met to establish a structured dialogue mechanism aimed at enhancing mutual understanding and identifying concrete areas for collaboration.

During the talks, representatives reviewed the current state of relations and expressed a shared commitment to deepening engagement in trade, investment, tourism and connectivity, while also exploring opportunities for cooperation in international organisations and regional forums.

The Thai side highlighted the importance of constructive diplomacy and pragmatic partnership, underscoring Thailand’s openness to expanding ties with emerging partners beyond its immediate region.

Discussions also covered prospects for increased people-to-people exchanges, cultural cooperation and coordination on global challenges of common concern.

Both delegations agreed that the consultations provide a valuable platform for regular dialogue and policy coordination, laying the groundwork for more frequent high-level exchanges and sector-specific cooperation in the years ahead.

The launch of political consultations reflects a broader effort by both countries to diversify their foreign relations and build resilient partnerships based on mutual respect, shared interests and long-term strategic outlooks.
