The European Union is considering deeper cooperation with Azerbaijan, including expanded ties in energy, trade and potential support for demining efforts in Garabagh, its foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas has said.
Kallas said EU officials discussed ways to further develop relations with Azerbaijan during a meeting of foreign ministers in Luxembourg, noting that stronger cooperation has not been ruled out in areas such as mine clearance.
She stressed that Azerbaijan remains a reliable energy partner and that the EU is interested in deepening engagement in both energy and trade.
Kallas added that while the issue of expanded demining support in Garabagh was not discussed in detail, the EU is already involved and is open to considering further steps in response to Baku’s request.
She said the bloc would review what additional assistance could be provided.
The EU foreign policy chief also highlighted the strategic importance of the South Caucasus, saying the region’s stability is a priority for Europe.
She pointed to the Armenia-Azerbaijan peace process as a key opportunity for regional security and development.
Kallas further noted that the EU aims to resume talks on a new bilateral agreement with Azerbaijan and strengthen overall cooperation.
She also confirmed that the bloc is increasing support for peace efforts in the region, including a new civilian mission in Armenia focused on resilience against cyber threats and disinformation.
