BAKU ( WNAM MONITORING): The European Union intends to strengthen its partnership with Azerbaijan, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said in a joint statement with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev in Baku.
“I’m here today to deepen our partnership, one that matters greatly to the European Union and one that has real momentum, as the President just described.
But first, let me also turn to the most important development in this region in decades, and that is peace.
I want to congratulate you for initiating a historic peace agreement with Armenia. You showed personal leadership in promoting peace and cooperation across the region, and it is creating new opportunities for stability, trust, and shared prosperity.
The European Union strongly supports this process, and we will continue to do so. Together, we can indeed turn peace on paper into peace in practice, and that’s why we are working here today together,” she said.
