Israel’s Foreign Minister Eli Cohen is set to visit Azerbaijan on Tuesday, a Shia Muslim country that neighbors Iran and Russia and from which Israel receives 30% of its oil.

“I am leaving today for an important political visit in order to continue to build, together with our good friends in Baku, a united and strong front in the face of our common challenges and the deepening of cooperation in the fields of economy, security, energy and innovation,” Cohen said.

To help strengthen those ties, a delegation will include representatives from 20 Israeli firms dealing in cyber and homeland security as well as in water management and agriculture.
