Once, imagining that relations between the South Caucasus and Arab countries would develop rapidly and become firmly established seemed like something out of One Thousand and One Nights. Today, however, this has become an observable reality. This is because the diplomatic pathways that opened up in the South Caucasus region, where Azerbaijan is located, were once limited to northern and neighbouring states. Since gaining independence, Azerbaijan has made it a guiding principle to expand the scope of its diplomatic relations further. It has aimed to develop the country’s political and economic independence not within a narrow framework alone, but across the Western, Central, Middle Eastern and Far Eastern dimensions.
