Polish envoy: Azerbaijan - important energy partner for Europe

Polish Ambassador to Azerbaijan Rafal Poborski has said that Azerbaijan is an important energy partner for Europe today.

"We hope that very ambitious projects and plans to increase the supply of Azerbaijani gas to Europe will be implemented in the near future in accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding recently signed between Azerbaijan and the EU during European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen's visit to Azerbaijan," Poborski told Trend.

He noted that today the EU should find another energy partner, and, fortunately for Poland, the country has been pursuing a policy of reducing dependence on Russian gas for a certain period.

Poborski noted that as an EU member state, Poland hopes that even more fruitful cooperation between Europe and Azerbaijan will begin soon.

"Azerbaijan, having the Southern Gas Corridor (SGC), a promising oil and gas field in the Caspian Sea and generally successful cooperation with the EU, is an obvious partner," the ambassador said.
