Baku, Azerbaijan, Dec. 7

By Leman Zeynalova – Trend:

The next round of negotiations on a new agreement between the European Union and Azerbaijan will be held on December 15, Head of the EU Delegation to Azerbaijan, Ambassador Kestutis Jankauskas told reporters in Baku Dec. 7.

Jankauskas added that the negotiations will be held as a video conference.

The European Council adopted a mandate for the European Commission and the high representative for foreign affairs and security policy to negotiate, on behalf of the EU and its member states, a comprehensive agreement with Azerbaijan in November 2016.

The new agreement should replace the 1996 partnership and cooperation agreement and should better take account of the shared objectives and challenges the EU and Azerbaijan face today.

The agreement will follow the principles endorsed in the 2015 review of the European Neighborhood Policy and offer a renewed basis for political dialogue and mutually beneficial cooperation between the EU and Azerbaijan.
