Azerbaijan’s Minister of Justice Farid Ahmadov held a meeting
with his Georgian counterpart Paata Salia,
Azernews reports, citing the Ministry of
Justice.
Minister Ahmadov expressed his satisfaction in welcoming the
guest to Azerbaijan and emphasised that the relations between the
two countries, based on mutual trust, continue to develop
successfully not only on a bilateral level but also within
international organisations.
He noted that the fact that Georgian President Mikheil
Kavelashvili and Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze paid their first
official visits abroad to Azerbaijan after assuming office this
year reflects the sincere nature of bilateral relations and their
foundation on mutual respect.
During the meeting, the sides discussed studying international
experience to improve the fields of enforcement, special
enforcement, and probation; conducting effective exchanges of best
practices with Georgia in these areas; and the positive
contribution of the 2022 Batumi Law Forum and the Memorandum of
Cooperation signed during that event to the development of
bilateral relations. The parties also exchanged views on holding
joint events in the future and expanding cooperation into new
areas.
Both ministers underscored that digitalisation in the justice
sector remains a priority for both countries. The Azerbaijani side
highlighted the innovative steps taken to digitalise 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 documents and the
legislative database.
The meeting concluded with both sides noting that the visit and
discussions would make a significant contribution to the exchange
of experience and ideas, as well as to the further strengthening of
legal cooperation between Azerbaijan and Georgia.
