Mrs. Aslanova said relations between Azerbaijan and the United Kingdom were steady developing.

Aslanova briefed the member of the House of Lords on ongoing processes in Azerbaijan after regaining its independence.

She said present-day development of Azerbaijan is indeed praiseworthy and a role model.
They stressed reciprocal visits of MPs would contribute to expanding bilateral relations.
