Moratinos is coming to Azerbaijan on 2-3, March in the framework of regional visit to all South Caucasus states. This is his first visit to the region as the head of Spanish Presidency in the EU.
"This is a very strong signal that the Presidency of the European Union is sending to Azerbaijan. It means Azerbaijan is very much on the map of the European Union, it is very important", - said Kobia.
According to the Ambassador, Moratinos is heading a big delegation.
"We consider this as an extremely useful initiative of the Spanish Presidency coming to Baku in order to have high level meeting with different authorities, notably with the President, the Foreign Minister and other officials", Kobia added.
According to him, the visit of Moratinos to Baku is a balanced visit in terms of the region, because the minister will spend in Azerbaijan as much time as in the three countries.
