Baku / 31.05.18 / Turan: Azerbaijan is interested in deepening cooperation with Belgium in all areas, Deputy Foreign Minister Khalaf Khalafov said during the consultations between the Foreign Ministries of Azerbaijan and Belgium, according to the Foreign Ministry on May 30.
Khalafov, noting the wide potential for the development of economic relations, noted the discrepancy between this potential and the turnover, so there is a need to use the full potential available.
Khalafov, referring to the large-scale transport and infrastructure projects realized by Azerbaijan's initiative, noted favorable conditions for entering the Asian and European markets through the transportation route North-South and the East-West railway line Baku-Tbilisi-Kars.
During the consultations, the focus was on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and the relations between Azerbaijan and the EU.
The Director of the Belgian Foreign Ministry on bilateral relations Anick Van Kalster praised the current level of relations between the two countries. He noted that in the field of energy Azerbaijan is a strategic partner of the EU, in particular, Belgium.
The meeting discussed the possibilities of cooperation on humanitarian issues, agriculture, renewable energy, tourism and other spheres of cooperation. Attention was paid to the promotion of cultural ties and the simplification of the visa regime. -0-
