    EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy
    Catherine Ashton and Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev discussed
    prospects for energy co-operation between Azerbaijan and European Union
    and exchanged views on the ways of settlement of the Armenia-Azerbaijan
    Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. "I was very keen to come to Azerbaijan to
    develop further the bilateral relations between the European Union
    and Azerbaijan," Ashton said in Baku.

    Ashton said Azerbaijan is an important partner of EU in terms of
    energy. "Azerbaijan is an increasingly important player in this region
    and close now in the United Nations," she said. According to Ashton,
    the Eastern Partnership is an important way which will demonstrate
    the closeness of EU-Azerbaijan relationships.

    She explained the importance of making sure that the EU-Azerbaijani
    relationships caters to the needs of support. "I also know what
    an important member of the Security Council of the United Nations
    Azerbaijan is going to be," she added.

    Citing the soaring and successful relations between the country and
    EU, Aliyev said there was multifaceted co-operation between Azerbaijan
    and the European Union. He stressed the importance of Ashton's visit
    to the region and Azerbaijan. According to him, Ashton's visit to
    Azerbaijan would contribute to developing relationship between the
    country and European Union even further.
