BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 5. Azerbaijan is a valued
and reliable energy partner for the European Union, so it’s good to
be in Baku today, EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and
Security Policy and Vice-President of the European Commission Kaja
Kallas said, Trend
reports citing the Delegation of the European Union to
Azerbaijan.

The High Representative emphasized that there is a clear scope
to deepen cooperation, particularly on trade, transport, and
digital.

“Strengthening connectivity between the EU, the South Caucasus,
and Central Asia is in our shared strategic interest, and we’re
open to discuss a more structured partnership with Azerbaijan. Of

to support this, from supporting confidence-building measures to
demining, where we’re already the biggest donor,”she noted.
