Kyrgyz President Sadyr Japarov arrived in Baku on October 14 for a working visit to Azerbaijan. He will take part in the 7th summit of the Conference on Interaction and Confidence-Building Measures in Asia (CICA). The president's press service announced the visit.
At Heydar Aliyev International Airport, Japarov was met by Azerbaijani Deputy Prime Minister Samir Sharifov.
The summit will be held on October 15. Representatives of member states will discuss regional cooperation, transport links, digitalization and sustainable economic growth, and a number of documents are planned for adoption at the meeting.
