Praising the existing “fruitful cooperation” in economy, agriculture, tourism, education and other sectors, the officials focused on the prospects of further strengthening the partnership between the two countries in both bilateral and multilateral formats.

He is a lawyer by profession, with a master's degree in comparative and European law from Maastricht University in the Netherlands.
