The foreign ministers of Azerbaijan and Qatar discussed boosting trade, investment and economic cooperation at talks in the Azeri capital Baku on Tuesday.
The Azeri minister, Elmar Mammadyarov, said Azeri President Ilham Aliyev was likely to visit Qatar next month.
Qatari Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al-Thani said the visit would “give additional impetus to the development of political and economic relationships between the two countries”.
Both countries are significant producers of oil and gas.
