According to the report, at the meeting, bilateral and multilateral cooperation between Azerbaijan and the United States, as well as the prospects for the normalization process between Azerbaijan and Armenia were discussed.

The importance of historical cooperation between Azerbaijan and the United States in a number of directions and the importance of developing bilateral relations within the framework of mutual interests were noted.

Azerbaijan-US cooperation within the framework of the 29th session of the Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP29), which Azerbaijan hosted in November of this year, was highly appreciated.
