The two-day programme includes a busy negotiation agenda. In particular, the head of the Belarusian state Alexander Lukashenko and President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev will hold two meetings.

In an informal setting, the heads of state will discuss the main directions of Belarusian-Azerbaijani relations and strategic issues of bilateral cooperation.

The official part of the negotiations is scheduled for Wednesday. The meeting of the presidents will be held in narrow and expanded formats with the participation of delegation members.

The parties will consider issues of industrial cooperation, the implementation of current and prospective projects in the production and supply of food, and the processing of agricultural products.

The heads of state will also exchange views on current international agenda issues.
