Aliza Bin-Noun, the head of the Foreign Ministry Political Strategic Division, met with Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov in Baku on Wednesday to discuss “regional cooperation, deepening the ties between the countries and the peoples, and strengthening economic ties,” according to a ministry readout.
The two were joined by senior Azerbaijani diplomats.
Bin-Noun also visited the World War II memorial in Baku, on the eve of Victory Day over Nazi Germany.
Azerbaijan is a close ally of Turkey, which suspended economic ties with Israel amid bitter criticism over the war in Gaza.
“Israel and Azerbaijan have deep and longstanding strategic relations which gained momentum with the opening of Azerbaijan’s embassy in Israel last year,” says Bin-Noun, adding that this year they are focusing on the COP29 climate conference that will be hosted in Baku later this year.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
