China and Azerbaijan have signed a mutual visa exemption agreement, allowing citizens of both countries to travel visa-free, the Chinese Foreign Ministry announced on Wednesday.
The agreement, inked during a meeting between representatives from both nations, aims to strengthen bilateral relations and boost tourism, trade, and cultural exchanges.
Under the new policy, holders of ordinary passports from China and Azerbaijan can enter, exit, transit through, or stay in the other country without a visa for a designated period.
This move is expected to facilitate easier travel for students, businesspeople, and tourists, fostering greater understanding and cooperation between the two nations.
China’s mutual visa exemption agreements have been expanding in recent years, reflecting the country’s commitment to opening up and promoting global connectivity.
Azerbaijan, located at the crossroads of Eastern Europe and Western Asia, is known for its rich cultural heritage and vibrant economy, making it an attractive destination for Chinese travelers.
Similarly, China offers diverse experiences for Azerbaijani visitors, from its ancient history and stunning landscapes to its modern cities and technological advancements.
This agreement signifies a strengthening of ties between China and Azerbaijan, paving the way for increased collaboration in various sectors.
Both governments have expressed optimism that the visa exemption will enhance people-to-people connections and contribute to the prosperity of the two nations.
