It was my long-time dream to meet Heydar Aliyev, one of the wisest political figures in the world. In my youth, I heard a lot about Heydar Aliyev.

We consider our meeting with President Heydar Aliyev the highest and most important meeting of all our visits.

Heydar Aliyev’s strong memory amazes me. Japanese-Azerbaijani relations can develop rapidly because a leader like Heydar Aliyev is governing Azerbaijan. We intend to listen to Heydar Aliyev’s advice not only on this region, but throughout the entire CIS space.
