US Vice President James David Vance underscored the growing partnership between Azerbaijan and the United States during a joint press statement following his meeting with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev in Baku.
“So we wanted to come today to show our appreciation for this friendship,” Vance said, Caliber.Az reports via state media.
Emphasizing the evolving relationship, he added, “New chapters are opening between Azerbaijan and the United States. And I think what will be a stronger and even better relationship under President Trump’s leadership and under President Aliyev’s leadership.”
Vance also highlighted concrete initiatives aimed at expanding economic and security cooperation. “We’re going to ship some new boats to Azerbaijan to help you all with some of your territorial waters protection,” he said.
He stated that the TRIPP project is in progress, and this will build the kind of economic and natural resource and critical mineral cooperation that will make it possible to really advance this incredible peace agreement between Azerbaijan and Armenia.
