Azerbaijan and Israel have had diplomatic relations for over 31 years, Azerbaijani Ambassador to Israel Mukhtar Mammadov said.
The envoy noted that despite the fact that there was no embassy at the time, Azerbaijan and Israel deepened their bilateral ties and developed cooperation in various fields. According to him, the opening of the embassy here will create conditions for deepening relations in the fields of technology, education, agriculture, and defense.
The ambassador pointed to the growth in the field of tourism. He said that the increased number of flights in both directions will boost the number of tourists in the future.
Mammadov also commented on the allegations that the relations between Azerbaijan and Israel are directed against third countries. He said that Baku does not interfere in the internal affairs of third countries after regaining independence and will continue to implement its policy in this manner.
