Skopje, 21 June 2023 (MIA) - Foreign Minister Bujar Osmani met his Azerbaijani and Moldovan counterparts, Jeyhun Bayramov and Nicu Popescu respectively, on the sidelines of the Ukraine Recovery Conference in London on Wednesday.

FMs Osmani and Bayramov discussed developments in the South Caucasus, which the former visited back in April in the capacity of OSCE Chairman-in-Office, agreeing on the need to maintain stability and enhance security in the region with the help of OSCE mechanisms, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a press release.

"I expressed strong support to the ongoing mediating efforts to ensure stability and hope that OSCE's experience can be used in this regard," said Osmani.

Osmani and Bayramov also discussed the enhancement of cooperation between North Macedonia and Azerbaijan, especially in the field of economy and energy.

During the meeting with the Moldovan FM, Osmani said North Macedonia provides its support to the sovereignty, territorial integrity and political independence of Moldova, as well as its EU accession aspirations.

"European integration is the best tool to prevent conflicts and malicious influence by third parties," said Osmani.

Interlocutors also discussed OSCE's support provided to Moldova.

"Moldova remains high on the OSCE agenda, an aspect that I highlighted during my visit to the country earlier in the year, while providing strong support in the efforts to solve the situation in Transnistria," added Osmani.
