Touching upon political relations, President Ilham Aliyev noted that Azerbaijan's partnership with several member states of the European Union is in an active phase. The head of state highlighted the importance of discussions on regional policy at this historical moment, which is significant for the region.

President Ilham Aliyev emphasized that despite the lack of access to open seas, Azerbaijan is located at the crossroads of the North-South and East-West corridors. “We have succeeded in establishing one of the largest international shipping fleets, as well as modern transportation infrastructure, including railways, highways, seaports, and airline companies.” The Azerbaijani President stated that all this creates a solid platform for international cooperation and positions the corridor as the best route for transport between the East and West through Azerbaijan.
The President also highlighted the continuous increase in cargo transportation in Azerbaijan, noting the active digitization of transportation infrastructure and customs, which will facilitate the growth and efficiency of transport operations.
