Emil Nasirli said that Romania, whose partnership relations with
Azerbaijan are developing on a constantly ascending pathway, is one
of the distinguished countries of Europe. This is also confirmed by
the fact that this country, thanks to its consistent and
goal-oriented policy, has become one of the most important voice
holders in prestigious organizations such as the European Union and
NATO. Throughout history, many generations of Romanians have fought
for freedom, independence, solidarity, and actions such as securing
national dignity. The economy of friendly Romania is
multi-dimensional.

infrastructure areas, energy sector including renewable energy
segment, as well as agriculture, automobile, aerospace,

the last segment of the Southern Gas Corridor; it has again become
a reliable energy partner for the European Union. Last year,
Azerbaijan and the European Union signed a strategic partnership
memorandum on natural gas in Baku, and this means that gas exports
