Baku: 'Azerbaijan holds an extremely strategic position between Central Asia and Europe. Its important geographical location should not be limited to serving merely as a bridge between Europe and Central Asia, but should become a broader platform for cooperation open to the entire world,' Japanese Ambassador to Azerbaijan Watanabe Katsuya told AZERTAC.

According to Azerbaijan State News Agency, 'Recognizing Azerbaijan's considerable potential, Japan is keen to contribute to its sustainable development by transferring advanced knowledge in green energy, ICT, and cybersecurity.
