A meeting was held at the Ministry of Health of Azerbaijan with a delegation from Uzbekistan's "Zamin" International Public Foundation, led by the Head of the Executive Office, Tamila Aliyeva. The meeting was also attended by Sultan Mammadov, a member of the Health Committee of the Milli Majlis and Head of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation's International Relations Department.

Welcoming the guests, Health Minister Teymur Musayev emphasized the longstanding historical ties between the two countries and noted their continued development: "Currently, cooperation between our countries is at a high level. Reciprocal visits and regular meetings between the heads of state play a special role in advancing bilateral relations."

The minister recalled the successful cooperation in healthcare between the two brotherly countries, highlighting the "Uzbekistan-Azerbaijan Health Decade," held in October last year in Tashkent to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Heydar Aliyev, the great son of the Turkic world. “During the Decade, medical specialists from both countries performed over 100 surgical operations for Uzbek citizens using high-tech equipment, conducting examinations and treatments. Additionally, as part of the 4th meeting of health ministers of the Turkic States Organization held in Shusha, several Memoranda of Understanding were signed between Azerbaijani and Uzbek research institutes and centers."

Praising the efforts of the "Zamin" International Public Foundation aimed at promoting Uzbekistan's sustainable development and improving the quality of life, Teymur Musayev particularly noted the role of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation and its President, First Vice-President of Azerbaijan Mehriban Aliyeva, in the significant work being done in the field of healthcare in Azerbaijan.

In conclusion, the Azerbaijani Health Minister expressed confidence in the further development of bilateral cooperation.

Expressing gratitude for the warm reception, Tamila Aliyeva, Head of the Executive Office of the "Zamin" International Public Foundation, emphasized that the format of cooperation between the two brotherly countries serves as an example for many other states. She noted that such meetings are crucial for exchanging experience and knowledge, and provided detailed information about the activities of the Zamin Foundation: "The International Public Foundation was established with a focus on long-term, strategically important, and sustainable projects in the ecological and social sectors. In addition, there is close cooperation between the Zamin Foundation and the Heydar Aliyev Foundation."

In her remarks, the Head of the Executive Office of the Uzbekistan International Public Foundation expressed interest in establishing effective collaboration with Azerbaijan’s Ministry of Health.
