On July 1, President Ilham Aliyev held a one-on-one meeting with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
The meeting provided an opportunity for the two leaders to discuss the current state and future prospects of the strategic partnership between the Republic of Azerbaijan and the European Union. Discussions focused on key areas of cooperation, including energy security, regional stability, and the ongoing development of bilateral relations.
The European Union remains a significant partner for Azerbaijan, particularly in the energy sector, where the Southern Gas Corridor plays a crucial role in enhancing Europe's energy security. Relations between Baku and Brussels have deepened in recent years, characterized by high-level dialogues aimed at strengthening economic ties and supporting regional connectivity initiatives across the South Caucasus.
