Business

The negotiation between Armenia and Azerbaijan "is a very important development, because a new phase of peace and tranquillity opens up very interesting prospects first of all for the two countries involved, but also of course for all those partners who are interested in the stability of the region and also in the advancement of certain regional dossiers, including those of economic cooperation, CE Report quotes ANSA.

From this point of view, Italy has a very important role to play, first of all in Azerbaijan where we are already the country's leading trade partner by far and it is a country, as you know, that is very important for us because it is, among other things, also our leading energy supplier if we consider oil & gas together'.

Italian Ambassador to Azerbaijan, Luca Di Gianfrancesco, told ANSA on the sidelines of the States General of Diplomacy at the Farnesina.

Between the two countries 'political relations are very intense, we have had numerous visits over the course of this year and they are a very important precondition also for advancing on the front of economic and cultural relations. Because if we wanted to summarise, we could say that Azerbaijan never has to be just energy, but can be much more than that: economy, investment, both in Azerbaijan by our companies but also with growing interest from the Azerbaijani side in Italy, and also academic and cultural cooperation'.
