Albania–Azerbaijani relations (Albanian: Marrëdhëniet Shqiptaro-Azerbaixhane; Azerbaijani: Albaniya-Azərbaycan münasibətləri) are the bilateral relations of Albania and Azerbaijan. Albania intends to open an embassy in Baku[1] and Azerbaijan has accredited its ambassador in Athens with the additional position of Ambassador to Albania.[2]

Both nations are predominantly Muslim and are part of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation[3] and the Council of Europe. Relations between the two countries were established on the 23 September 1992 after Azerbaijan achieved independence from the Soviet Union.[2]

Relations

Albania and Azerbaijan have developing economic and cultural ties.[2] Albania supports the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan and an end to the occupation of Azerbaijani territories by neighbouring states.[4]
