Kaja Kallas, the European Union (EU) High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, is set to pay an official visit to Azerbaijan.
According to Operative Information Center-OMM, citing the European External Action Service (EEAS), the visit is scheduled for May 5. During her stay in Baku, Kallas is expected to meet with Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov and other high-ranking officials to discuss bilateral relations and regional cooperation. While specific details of the agenda have not been fully disclosed, the discussions are expected to cover a wide range of mutual interests.
Azerbaijan and the European Union maintain a strategic partnership, particularly in the energy and transport sectors. The EU remains Azerbaijan's largest trading partner, and both parties are currently working on a new comprehensive agreement to expand cooperation in areas such as economic diversification, investment, and security. This visit follows ongoing efforts to strengthen ties between Baku and Brussels within the framework of the Eastern Partnership and the Southern Gas Corridor initiative, which plays a crucial role in Europe's energy security.
