Nowadays, citizens of Albania with regular passports can travel visa-free to Azerbaijan.
Azerbaijani Ambassador to Albania Annar Huseynov in a post on the social network X, suggests that “from today, even citizens of Albania with regular passports can travel to Azerbaijan without visas”.
The visa waiver agreement for Albanian citizens travelling towards Azerbaijan was signed on March 1st 2017 in the presence of Prime Minister Edi Rama by Besart Kadia, Europe and Foreign Affairs Deputy Minister and Fariz Rzayev, deputy foreign affairs minister of the Republic of Azerbaijan.
This agreement was signed under the visit Prime Minister Edi Rama held in Azerbaijan at the beginning of March of this year, at the head of a high-level delegation where he held a series of important meetings, opening up new opportunities for tourism, economic development and co-operation between the two countries.
Intensification of bilateral relations between Albania and Azerbaijan touched another dimension with the visit of the Joint Albania-Azerbaijan Committee this week to Baku.
The upcoming meeting between the Joint Committee was widely discussed on the possibility of co-operation between the two countries in some important sectors, ranging from tourism, health, education and to digitisation, and confirmed the two countries' common commitment to talking about concrete results in all areas where opportunities to work together are recorded with the economy in the first place.
Agreement was discussed during this visit to implement the pilot gasification project Corca, the regasification terminal in Korca Bay, as well as the possibility of participation by companies from both countries in renewable energy projects.
The lifting of visas creates new opportunities for tourism, economic development and co-operation between the two countries, whose reports have marked a significant momentum in concrete strengthening of co-operation in particular during the past year, which marked the opening of the Azerbaijani Embassy in Tirana and the opening of Albania's Embassy in Baku this autumn. / AT S
