The EU is resuming talks with Azerbaijan on aviation agreement, the press service of the European Union in Brussels said.
"The negotiations on an EU-Azerbaijan Aviation Agreement were launched in 2013 and the EU welcomes their resumption in 2015. Azerbaijan has also demonstrated constructive cooperation in the Eastern Partnership Transport Panel and seems committed to working on the deliverables, including the development of an efficient East-West rail and road corridor," Trend cited the press service as saying.
In addition, it was stressed that the partnership between Azerbaijan and the EU continues to serve as an excellent example of mutually beneficial cooperation. "As a state rich in natural resources, Azerbaijan is less dependent on foreign financing into transport infrastructure. The European Investment Bank signed a framework agreement with Azerbaijan which shall enable the bank to provide funding for infrastructure projects in the country. Azerbaijan could also become an Intergovernmental Organization for International Carriage by Rail member in a near future and as a member of this rail organisation, the EU would support this process," the press-service said.
