President Sheikh Mohamed was received by Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev at Zugulba Presidential Palace in the country's capital Baku, where an official reception ceremony was held.

The UAE President arrived in Baku on Monday evening at the invitation of Mr Aliyev.

Sheikh Mohamed laid wreaths at the tomb of Heydar Aliyev, founder of modern Azerbaijan, as well as at the Eternal Flame monument, state news agency Wam reported.

A guard of honour saluted Sheikh Mohamed, with the national anthems of the UAE and Azerbaijan also performed during his visit.

Talks focused on the economy, renewable energy, the environment, culture and education as the two leaders bid to enhance sustainable development in the countries.

Sheikh Mohamed highlighted that non-oil trade volume between the two countries has increased in recent years, emphasising that the UAE views stability and development in the Caucasus region as important.

He praised the strategic developmental projects undertaken by the UAE in Azerbaijan, including the Garadagh Solar Photovoltaic Power Plant launched by the Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company.

A strategic co-operation agreement was also secured between Adnoc and Azerbaijan's state oil company.

The move aims to deepen collaboration to advance a responsible supply of energy that supports a just, orderly and equitable global energy transition.

"I was pleased to meet with President Ilham Aliyev of Azerbaijan in Baku to discuss the growing ties between our countries," Sheikh Mohamed wrote on X, formerly Twitter, after his visit.

"The UAE is committed to working alongside Azerbaijan to expand co-operation in key fields that support development, progress and prosperity for both our nations and peoples."

The President was accompanied on the trip by Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed, Vice President, Deputy Prime Minister and Chairman of the Presidential Court, Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohamed.

The Eurasian nation is set to host the Cop29 climate change summit this year, a decision made during last December's global forum in Expo City Dubai.

Also accompanying the President on his trip were Dr Sultan Al Jaber, Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology and Cop28 President, Dr Anwar Gargash, diplomatic adviser to the President, Suhail Al Mazrouei, Minister of Energy and Infrastructure, and Mohamed Al Suwaidi, Minister of Investment.

Talks at Cop29 in Azerbaijan, scheduled for November 2024, are expected to focus on raising the finance needed to turn the vision of the Dubai summit into reality.

Other members of the UAE delegation included Ahmed Al Sayegh, Minister of State, Sheikh Mohammed bin Hamad, adviser for special affairs at the Presidential Court, Ali Al Shamsi, deputy secretary general of the Supreme National Security Council, and Mohammed Al Balushi, ambassador to Azerbaijan.

10 tips for entry-level job seekers
  • Have an up-to-date, professional LinkedIn profile. If you don’t have a LinkedIn account, set one up today. Avoid poor-quality profile pictures with distracting backgrounds. Include a professional summary and begin to grow your network.
  • Keep track of the job trends in your sector through the news. Apply for job alerts at your dream organisations and the types of jobs you want – LinkedIn uses AI to share similar relevant jobs based on your selections.
  • Double check that you’ve highlighted relevant skills on your resume and LinkedIn profile.
  • For most entry-level jobs, your resume will first be filtered by an applicant tracking system for keywords. Look closely at the description of the job you are applying for and mirror the language as much as possible (while being honest and accurate about your skills and experience).
  • Keep your CV professional and in a simple format – make sure you tailor your cover letter and application to the company and role.
  • Go online and look for details on job specifications for your target position. Make a list of skills required and set yourself some learning goals to tick off all the necessary skills one by one.
  • Don’t be afraid to reach outside your immediate friends and family to other acquaintances and let them know you are looking for new opportunities.
  • Make sure you’ve set your LinkedIn profile to signal that you are “open to opportunities”. Also be sure to use LinkedIn to search for people who are still actively hiring by searching for those that have the headline “I’m hiring” or “We’re hiring” in their profile.
  • Prepare for online interviews using mock interview tools. Even before landing interviews, it can be useful to start practising.
  • Be professional and patient. Always be professional with whoever you are interacting with throughout your search process, this will be remembered. You need to be patient, dedicated and not give up on your search. Candidates need to make sure they are following up appropriately for roles they have applied.
