Operative Information Center-OMM reports that during the conversation, the sides recalled with satisfaction Kaja Kallas's visit to Azerbaijan last year and her previous meeting with the head of state. It was noted that the European Union remains highly interested in further developing relations with Azerbaijan across various strategic sectors.
The meeting emphasized the successful cooperation between the European Union and Azerbaijan in the energy sector, highlighting Azerbaijan's significant contributions to ensuring Europe's energy security. Furthermore, both parties underscored the extensive opportunities for expanding partnership in the transport sector, alongside existing energy initiatives.

Azerbaijan's participation in such forums underscores its active role in regional diplomacy and its commitment to strengthening ties with European institutions, particularly in the context of the Middle Corridor and energy diversification projects.
