Relations between the two countries were further intensified with the establishment of Korean Embassy in Azerbaijan as well as Azerbaijani Embassy in Korea in 2006 and in 2007 respectfully.
In 2006 and 2007, mutual visits of the Azerbaijani and Korean heads of state laid the foundation of a new stage of political dialogue at the highest level and bilateral cooperation.
Later, the meetings and negotiations held during mutual visits of the heads of government, speakers of parliament and members of the government have played an important role in expanding our relations.
