"Azerbaijan is a key partner of Bulgaria in its efforts to improve energy security and achieve energy diversification on a regional and European scale." This was stated by the Speaker of the Bulgarian National Assembly Rosen Zhelyazkov during his meeting with the Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev. 

In Baku, he pointed out that Bulgaria has the opportunity to increase the transit supplies of gas both to the countries of the Western Balkans and to Europe along the south-north axis.

Zhelyazkov recalled the memorandum signed between operators of gas transmission networks from Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia and Azerbaijan to double the export of gas from Baku to the EU, adding that the launch of the interconnector between Bulgaria and Serbia significantly contributes to energy security in Europe.

For his part, Ilham Aliyev said that friendly relations between Azerbaijan and Bulgaria have been raised to the level of strategic partnership, which opens a new page in bilateral relations.
