Bilateral relations between our countries in all fields are dynamic. My arrival coincided with the decision of Shah Deniz consortium in favor of the Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP), promoted – among others – by a Swiss company, which is another striking example of mutual trust and successful cooperation. I believe this cooperation will further develop and I am here to bring contribution to the growing relations," he said at a meeting with Aliyev.—06D-
