Reflecting on past cooperation, Aliyev highlighted achievements in areas such as counter-terrorism, promoting international peace and security, and ensuring Europe’s energy security. He specifically praised Trump’s “constant resolute support” for Azerbaijan’s energy strategy, underscoring a shared commitment to Europe’s energy stability.
