At the meeting the sides underlined that the political relations between Azerbaijan and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia are at an excellent level and are pleased with the development of the economic, trade and tourism cooperation.

It was noted that more than 35,000 Saudi Arabian citizens visited the country last year and this indicator will increase further this year by signing an air link agreement and direct air flights.
