In a post shared on her official X (formerly Twitter) page, Nigeria’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu, highlighted her recent bilateral telephone engagement with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan, H.E. Jeyhun Bayramov, focusing on opportunities to further strengthen relations between Nigeria and Azerbaijan.

I held a bilateral telephone engagement with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan, H.E. Jeyhun Bayramov, during which we deliberated on strengthening Nigeria-Azerbaijan relations by expanding collaboration across political, economic and humanitarian domains as well as enhancing multilateral cooperation.=

Nigeria and Azerbaijan established formal diplomatic relations on March 11, 1992, and continue to build ties through multilateral platforms, economic cooperation, and educational exchanges.

Our two nations coordinate closely within international organizations, including the the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU), and the D-8 Organization for Economic Cooperation.

The engagement reflects the shared commitment of Nigeria and Azerbaijan to deepening their longstanding diplomatic ties, expanding cooperation across key sectors, and strengthening coordination on issues of mutual interest within the international community.
