Azerbaijan’s Minister of Justice, Farid Ahmadov, met with his Georgian counterpart, Paata Salia.
Expressing his pleasure in welcoming his guest to Azerbaijan, Minister Ahmadov highlighted the fruitful relations between Azerbaijan and Georgia, noting their development both bilaterally and within international organizations.
Minister Ahmadov noted that the recent official visits of Georgian President Mikheil Kavelashvili and Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze to Azerbaijan following their inaugurations further demonstrate the sincere and mutually respectful nature of the bilateral relationship.
During the meeting, the ministers discussed studying international experience to improve the areas of enforcement, special enforcement, and probation; conducting effective exchanges of best practices with Georgia in these fields; and the positive contribution of the 2022 Batumi Law Forum and the Cooperation Memorandum signed at that event to the development of bilateral relations.
The parties also exchanged views on organizing joint events in the future and exploring new directions for cooperation.
Both ministers emphasized that digitalization in the justice sector is a priority for both countries.
The Azerbaijani side highlighted innovative steps taken to digitalize enforcement processes, including the “Electronic Auction” platform, the “Mobile Enforcement” application, and the AI-powered “E-qanun.ai” legal search platform, which provides access to legal documents and the legislative database.
The meeting concluded with both sides noting that the visit and discussions would significantly contribute to the exchange of experiences and ideas, as well as further strengthen legal cooperation between Azerbaijan and Georgia.
