India’s External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar meets Azerbaijan’s President and foreign minister in Baku as both sides look to improve bilateral relations. The talks come after earlier diplomatic strain, including Azerbaijan’s condemnation of Operation Sindoor and calls for the “resolution” of the Kashmir issue, according to one account.
In the discussions, Azerbaijani officials emphasise commercial and sectoral cooperation. Bayramov highlights trade, tourism and energy connections following meetings with his Indian counterpart, and describes the engagement as comprehensive and productive. Coverage also points to areas such as energy cooperation, logistics corridors and cooperation in fields including agriculture and pharmaceuticals.
Some outlets focus primarily on the trade-and-energy agenda, while others add context about the relationship’s recent deterioration and the broader regional and global issues raised during the visit. Across reports, there is broad agreement that the meetings are framed around strengthening economic ties and continuity from earlier high-level engagement between the two countries’ top leaders.
