The document envisages more than 60 specific measures aimed primarily at developing topical areas of economic co-operation and increasing the volume of mutual trade in goods and services.

During the negotiations, a wide range of issues of Belarusian-Azerbaijani cooperation in the political, trade, economic and humanitarian spheres, as well as interaction on international platforms were considered.

The foreign ministers paid special attention to the organisation of upcoming visits and high-level contacts, deepening trade relations, industrial cooperation and implementation of joint trade and economic projects.

An agreement was reached to continue mutual support within the framework of international organisations. Both countries share the principle of respect for the sovereign path of development of the state, the inadmissibility of interference in internal affairs and the use of illegal methods of pressure in international relations.
