Azerbaijan and the EU intend to expand commercial relations in coming years, said President of the European Council Donald Tusk.

He was making joint statement for the press with Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev, who is on a visit to Brussels, Belgium on Feb. 6.

“We discussed how our strengthened cooperation will help modernize and diversify the Azerbaijani economy,” said Tusk.

Relations between Azerbaijan and the EU go beyond energy and trade, he said, adding the two sides want to upgrade their relationship and develop its full potential for a new bilateral agreement.
