tourism, sports, culture and other areas.

Field said that over the past 20 years the Azerbaijani people and
government had been very patient and stressed that they understood
Azerbaijan's concerns over the conflict.

achievements and future plans.
The head of state said that Azerbaijani-UK relations covered various
spheres and were developing successfully. He added that the two

in tourism, sport and culture as well as the non-oil sector.

mutually beneficial cooperation.
