BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 22. On June 22, a
delegation from Jordan’s House of Representatives, led by Speaker
Mazen Tarqi Al-Qadi, visited Azerbaijan’s Parliament during an
official visit to the country.


According to the Azerbaijani Parliament's Press and Public
Relations Department, the delegation was received by Speaker of
Azerbaijani Parliament Sahiba Gafarova.


Speaker Al-Qadi first toured the plenary session hall
and then visited the Heydar Aliyev Memorial Hall, where he viewed
exhibits reflecting various periods of the life and political
career of Azerbaijan’s national leader, Heydar Aliyev.


Al-Qadi also left a note in the visitors’ book.


The two sides then held a broad-format meeting.


Speaker Gafarova noted that several important issues
had been discussed during the delegation’s meeting with President
Ilham Aliyev the previous day. She highlighted that Azerbaijan’s
current achievements are the result of President Aliyev’s
successful domestic and foreign policies.


Gafarova emphasized that bilateral relations between
Azerbaijan and Jordan — two friendly nations — have reached a high
level, thanks in large part to the mutual visits and meetings
between the two countries’ leaders.


She also expressed satisfaction with the cooperation
and mutual support between the two countries within the United
Nations, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, the Non-Aligned
Movement, and other international organizations.


Recalling her meeting with Al-Qadi last month during
the first Conference of Mediterranean Parliament Speakers in
Montenegro, Gafarova praised the current level of
inter-parliamentary ties. She underlined the importance of
reciprocal visits and the work of parliamentary friendship groups
in deepening these relations, and welcomed Jordan’s active
participation in the Non-Aligned Movement Parliamentary Network,
initiated by President Ilham Aliyev.


Speaker Al-Qadi thanked the Azerbaijani side for the
invitation and the warm reception. Sharing his impressions from the
meeting with President Ilham Aliyev, he noted that relations
between the two countries are advancing thanks to the initiatives
and efforts of their leaders.


He also spoke about the significance of the 20th
session of the Parliamentary Union of the OIC Member States,
currently underway in Baku, describing it as an important platform
for discussing key issues.


During the talks, Al-Qadi highlighted opportunities
to expand cooperation between the two parliaments in areas such as
legislative experience-sharing, investment promotion, humanitarian
affairs, youth cooperation, and other fields. He described the
visit and his meeting with the Azerbaijani Speaker as a strong
opportunity to further broaden parliamentary ties.


The sides also discussed cooperation between
parliamentary committees and friendship groups, as well as the
importance of continued mutual support in international
parliamentary organizations.


The meeting included an exchange of views on other
issues of mutual interest.
