On July 1, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev held an expanded meeting with President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen.
During the high-level discussions, the parties reviewed the current state of bilateral relations between Azerbaijan and the European Union, focusing on key areas of cooperation including energy security, economic diversification, and regional stability.
The European Commission, led by President Ursula von der Leyen, plays a pivotal role in shaping EU-Azerbaijan relations. Azerbaijan has increasingly become a strategic energy partner for the European Union, particularly through the Southern Gas Corridor, which facilitates the supply of natural gas from the Caspian region to European markets. These high-level meetings are essential for strengthening the political dialogue and advancing the strategic partnership between Baku and Brussels.
