An agreement to open the German Chamber of Commerce in Azerbaijan
was signed at the Wednesday negotiations of the German and Azeri
foreign ministers.
"This chamber will promote the development of bilateral relations,"
German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle told a press conference he
shared with Azeri counterpart Elmar Mamedyarov.
The ministers said they had discussed bilateral cooperation in
politics, energy, democracy, non-oil sector, the EU and NATO, and
ways to ease visa formalities.
"Azerbaijan is an important energy and political partner situated in
a complex region," Westerwelle said. He noted that bilateral energy
cooperation was very successful and has a big potential.
"Azerbaijan is important not only as an oil producer but also as a
transit state," he said.
The minister called for the soonest settlement of the Karabakh conflict
with a compromise, which, in his words, would be beneficial for all
countries of the region.
