Bulgaria’s head of state Rumen Radev held talks in Baku with the President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev. President Radev stated that Azerbaijan plays a key role in the diversification of the energy sources to Eastern and Central Europe, and that is why Bulgaria supports the southern gas corridor project.

On his part President Aliyev stressed that for Azerbaijan, Bulgaria is a very close partner and a friend, and he expects cooperation with it to continue successfully. Cooperation in power generation and infrastructure was a major talking point at the meeting. Bulgaria has an agreement with Azerbaijan for the delivery of 1 billion cubic meters of Azeri gas annually. Deliveries are expected to begin in 2020 via the gas interconnection with Greece.
