“I had a productive meeting with my Romanian counterpart, Marius Lazurca, who is visiting Azerbaijan. Reaffirming the strategic partnership and traditional friendship between Azerbaijan and Romania, we discussed the broad opportunities for further deepening our bilateral ties. 

As the EU member state geographically closest to the South Caucasus, Romania holds an important place in our cooperation. We exchanged views on prospects for advancing collaboration in the political, economic, energy, defense, cultural, humanitarian, and other fields. We agreed to continue our active political and security dialogue,” Hajiyev wrote on X.
