"We meet on a regular basis and there is always something to talk about. There is a fairly large amount of interaction in very different areas between our countries. Russia continues to be one of Azerbaijan’s leading trade and economic partners. Our trade is growing.Last year it grew by 14 percent, I think, and in the first seven months of this year it has grown by more than 7 percent," President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin said at a meeting with President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev, in Astana, APA reports.

"Our economic operators have invested $4.5 billion in the Azerbaijani economy. The co-chairs of the intergovernmental commission meet on a regular basis. Work is proceeding according to the plan you proposed, which is calculated until 2024 inclusive and covers a number of promising and interesting projects you proposed. Naturally, we always keep issues related to the settlement of the situation in the region in the spotlight. I hope we will use this opportunity to discuss all these issues once again and make sure we are on the same page," said Vladimir Putin.
