He expressed confidence the charter would contribute to strengthening the relations between Mulhouse and Yevlakh, particularly in the fields of economy, tourism, culture and education.
Head of Yevlakh City Executive Authority Goja Samadov praised Azerbaijan-France relations as “close and friendly”.
