Mard: EU, Azerbaijan to continue active co-op

The European Union and Azerbaijan will continue to cooperate actively, said Malena Mard, head of the EU delegation to Azerbaijan.

She was addressing an event dedicated to the Europe Day in Baku May 16.

Mard noted that 2016 is a special year as it marks 25 years of cooperation between the EU and Azerbaijan.

"We cooperate in many areas," she said. "We are proud that we are the biggest partner and investor."

Mard also informed that a business forum on further expanding the trade and economic cooperation between the parties will be held May 18.

"We also continue a high-level dialogue," she said. "The Southern Gas Corridor project is another priority in our relations."
