Azerbaijan's friendly relations with Hungary of great importance for Eurasian continent as well – President Ilham Aliyev

BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 30. Azerbaijan's friendly relations with Hungary are of great importance for the Eurasian continent as well, President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said, making a press statement following the meeting with Prime Minister of Hungary Viktor Orban and signing bilateral documents, Trend reports.

"We share the bonds of friendship. The friendly relations between our countries are of great importance both for our countries and, at the same time, for the Eurasian continent.

The Joint Declaration on the deepening of strategic partnership signed today is further evidence of our strategic partnership. This is a second signed document on strategic partnership and it shows again that Hungary and Azerbaijan are true friends and strategic partners.

Our successful policy and joint steps in recent years have created a very strong foundation for cooperation in the field of energy today. Prime Minister has recalled that great work was done on the NABUCCO project. However, the NABUCCO project was not implemented because the financial sources had not been identified. Nevertheless, Azerbaijan worked hard to deliver its gas resources to European markets and, as a result, the Southern Gas Corridor was implemented two years ago. This is very modern energy infrastructure, its length is 3,500 kilometers, and Azerbaijan has been delivering its natural gas resources to the European Union for two years now.

According to the document we signed with the European Commission last year, we plan to double our gas supply, perhaps even more than double. The resources to do that are available, and so are political will and contacts with our partners," President Ilham Aliyev said.
