Israeli President Isaac Herzog visits Azerbaijan for CICA summit
Israeli President Isaac Herzog traveled to Baku, Azerbaijan, to participate in the 7th Summit of the Conference on Interaction and Confidence Building Measures in Asia (CICA). During his visit, Herzog met with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, praising Azerbaijan as a 'model of stability' and a 'paragon of stability' under Aliyev’s leadership.
In his address at the summit, Herzog expressed Israel’s desire to expand regional peace and collaboration, though he noted that 'peace cannot exist with terror, and cooperation cannot thrive with boycotts.' His speech was met with a walkout by several delegations, including those from Iran, Kuwait, Pakistan, and Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan.
The visit highlights the deep strategic ties between the two nations, which include Israel serving as a major arms supplier to Azerbaijan and Baku acting as a significant oil provider for Israel. Herzog also met with Bahraini Foreign Minister Abdullatif bin Rashid Al Zayan to discuss strengthening the Abraham Accords and expanding regional cooperation.
