"This number truly makes a [positive] impression. Never before has such a large delegation from Chile visited Azerbaijan. To get here from my country, one needs to take three connecting flights. However, I think the process will become a bit easier from December this year, as there will be direct flights from Istanbul to Chile's capital Santiago," Alberti noted.

The diplomat also stated that a consular section will begin operations at the Chilean Embassy in Baku this month.

"Although Azerbaijan is located far from Chile, we cooperate and support each other's positions within the framework of international organizations," the ambassador emphasized.
