Azerbaijan promoted the development of friendly and partnership relations with all countries in its foreign policy.

Axar.az reports that Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov said these words to journalists during the opening ceremony of the Azerbaijani Embassy in Israel.

He said that establishing and developing close relations with any state of Azerbaijan should not worry other countries.

"First of all, this serves the development of those countries, peace and stability in our region," he said.

The minister said that the implementation of projects intended for the development of economic relations with Israel continues. He said that trade turnover increased by 85 percent last year.
