President Ilham Aliyev has stated that the visit of the President of the European Council, Antonio Costa, to Azerbaijan will play a significant role in the development of bilateral relations between Baku and the European Union.
According to Operative Information Center-OMM, the head of state made these remarks during a joint press statement with the President of the European Council in Baku. "I am pleased to welcome you here in Azerbaijan. We have met twice last year. I invited you, and I am glad that you accepted this invitation. Your visit will play a major role in our bilateral relations," President Ilham Aliyev said.
The visit comes at a pivotal time as Azerbaijan and the European Union continue to strengthen cooperation in energy security, regional stability, and economic diversification.

This high-level meeting underscores the mutual interest in deepening ties across the South Caucasus region.
