"A group of senior American Jewish leaders visited Azerbaijan last week, amid strong ties between the predominantly Shi’ite country and the Jewish state. The five-day visit by the leadership of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations... included meetings with Azerbaijan’s Ilham Aliyev and Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov. The trip coincided with a visit to the South Caucasus nation of some 10.4 million people by U.S. Vice President JD Vance," Jewish News Syndicate (JNS), a U.S.-based news agency, writes.

"In the decades since, our partnership with Azerbaijan strengthened, widened and demonstrated clear strategic value for the United States, Israel and the broader Jewish world," JNS quotes Betsy Berns Korn, chair of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations.
