German Foreign Ministry Official: Azerbaijan is a very important partner for us
Neutral Summary
A senior German Foreign Ministry official described Azerbaijan as a "very important partner" for Germany during a reception marking the 108th anniversary of Azerbaijan's independence. Christoph Israng, head of the European Directorate-General of the German Federal Foreign Office, stated that Germany has "very good, long-standing relations" with Azerbaijan and that ties between Azerbaijan and the European Union are already "quite close." He also said that the ongoing peace process with Armenia requires "great courage from both sides" and that Germany supports this peace and sees additional opportunities for stronger ties with Azerbaijan.
The May 28 reception commemorated the founding of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic in 1918, recognized as the first secular, democratic, and parliamentary republic in the Muslim world. The republic, which lasted 23 months until the Bolshevik occupation in 1920, established a national army, currency, and bank, and granted women the right to vote. Since 2022, Azerbaijan has officially observed May 28 as Independence Day, previously marked as Republic Day. Multiple countries, including Pakistan, Türkiye, the EU delegation, and the Israeli embassy, also extended congratulations to Azerbaijan for the holiday.
