Relations between the two countries were established on the 23 September 1992 after Azerbaijan achieved independence from the Soviet Union. [2] Both countries are full members of the Organization of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation and Organisation of Islamic Cooperation and Council of Europe.

Albania and Azerbaijan have been developing economic and cultural ties. [2] Albania supports the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan and an end to the occupation of Azerbaijani territories by neighbouring states including Armenia. [4]

On 13 September 2025, in an appearance on "Fox and Friends," President Donald Trump declared that he had solved the war between the two countries presumably confusing Albania with Armenia who had signed a peace agreement with Azerbaijan that was mediated by the United States in August 2025. [5] Trump made the similar gaffe on the Mark Levin show on August 19, 2025. [6]

On 26 November 2019, an earthquake struck the Durrës region of Albania. The Azerbaijani government donated 500,000 euros for humanitarian aid to Albania. [7] [8]
