At the beginning of the meeting, the two sides exchanged the "Joint Declaration on Strategic Partnership" between their countries. It was emphasized that the adoption of the document had officially elevated bilateral relations to a qualitatively new level, although the relationship had already been characterized by a strategic partnership.

Aliyev highlighted more than 30 years of cooperation in the energy sector, noting that the United Kingdom was the largest European investor in Azerbaijan.

The meeting also highlighted broad opportunities for cooperation in renewable energy, advanced technologies and artificial intelligence. The importance of high-level official visits from the United Kingdom to Azerbaijan in recent months and the negotiations held during that period was also discussed. The leaders exchanged views on issues on the international agenda.
