Azerbaijan and the UK cooperate in different sectors of the economy. There are already 30 years of successful cooperation between the two countries in the oil and gas sectors, which entered a new stage of development in line with the challenges of the global energy sector. The latter accounts for $28.8 billion out of $30.6 billion of the UK investments in Azerbaijan's economy. The UK is also the biggest investor in Azerbaijan.

The UK contributed over AZN1 million (£500,000) to Azerbaijan’s recovery efforts and demining activities in its liberated lands, the UK embassy reported earlier.
