The first Azerbaijani-Czech business forum was held in July last year during the visit of the Foreign Minister of the Czech Republic Karel Schwarzenberg to Azerbaijan.

After opening the embassy of the Czech Republic in October, the consular department will be opened in January next year, the ambassador said.
"From January, all will be able to obtain a visa," he said.
Making a speech in Prague in May on the occasion of Republic Day, Sobotka noted the importance of partnership between Azerbaijan and the Czech Republic.
