Baku, Azerbaijan, April 1. Azerbaijan’s
Minister of Foreign Affairs, Jeyhun Bayramov, met with the Deputy
Secretary-General of the European External Action Service (EEAS)
for Economic and Global Affairs, Simon Mordue, and the EU Special
Representative for the South Caucasus and the Crisis in Georgia,
Magdalena Grono, on April 1, 2025, Trend reports.
According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the meeting
focused on the current state and future prospects of
Azerbaijan-European Union (EU) cooperation, as well as regional and
international issues of mutual interest.
The discussion covered areas of collaboration between Azerbaijan
and the EU, including economic, trade, energy security, green
energy, and humanitarian matters. Particular emphasis was placed on
large-scale energy projects initiated by Azerbaijan, highlighting
their significant role in Europe’s energy supply and security. The
importance of continuing collaboration not only on traditional
energy sources but also in the alternative energy sector was
underscored.
Minister Bayramov also provided detailed information about the
current situation in the region following the post-conflict period,
noting the extensive reconstruction and rehabilitation efforts
underway in Azerbaijan’s newly liberated territories. Additionally,
he highlighted ongoing humanitarian mine clearance activities in
these areas.
The cooperation between Azerbaijan and the EU on mine clearance
and the determination of the fate of missing persons was also
discussed.
Despite the progress made in the normalization and peace process
between Azerbaijan and Armenia, it was noted that Armenia’s
continued territorial claims against Azerbaijan in its constitution
and the rapid pace of its military buildup pose a threat to
advancing the peace agenda.
The meeting culminated in a comprehensive dialogue encompassing
a diverse array of perspectives on ancillary matters of reciprocal
significance.
