BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 8. Latvia plays important role in EU-Azerbaijan cooperation, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said, making a press statement after the meeting with President of the Republic of Latvia Egils Levits, Trend reports.
"Political dialogue and economic cooperation, I think, demonstrate our mutual political will in establishing closer relations between us. Also, Latvia plays important role in EU-Azerbaijan cooperation, which develops very successfully. We have signed or adopted declarations and agreements on strategic partnership with nine members of the European Union, which is one third of member-states. This really is a good platform for agreement, which is now being negotiated between Azerbaijan and European Commission. Absolute majority of the agreement is already agreed. So, we need to make final steps. Hopefully, we will do it sooner than later," President Ilham Aliyev said.
