The historic city of Shusha, long considered the cultural heart of Azerbaijan, became the stage for a landmark moment in Azerbaijani-Emirati relations on September 16. President Ilham Aliyev welcomed President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for an expanded meeting that not only symbolized deepening ties but also elevated the partnership between the two nations to a new strategic level.

The symbolism was powerful. Hosting Sheikh Mohamed in Shusha, a city liberated from occupation, underscored Azerbaijan’s determination to showcase both its sovereignty and its openness to new strategic alliances. President Aliyev described the visit as one that would “give a new impetus to the brotherly and friendly relations” between the two countries.

During the visit, both leaders engaged in discussions aimed at enhancing cooperation in various fields, including energy, technology, and infrastructure. Azerbaijan and the UAE have already established a strong partnership in renewable energy, with UAE companies investing in solar power projects in Azerbaijan. The two countries are also exploring opportunities for collaboration in artificial intelligence, education, and tourism.
