Border cooperation remains an important component of Azerbaijan–Russia relations, taking into

account the overall situation in the Caucasus and the common objectives of the struggle against
international terrorism. On 25 January 2002 an intergovernmental agreement on the activities of border
service representatives was signed. The consultations are going about an agreement on opening of
border service offices on the territories of both countries.

On 29–30 January 2008, Moscow hosted the XV round of talks on the delimitation of the border with
Azerbaijan. The agreed boundary line, which was outlined in the working protocols, map and descriptive
documents, is 301.1 kilometres (187.1 mi), which corresponds to the 90% of the total border of 336.5
km (209.1 mi).
