Berlin: "Germany-Azerbaijan cooperation is also of great importance in terms of connectivity and transit opportunities, because German companies have achieved great success in this field," President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said at a press conference with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, APA reports.

According to Azeri-Press news agency, President Aliyev emphasized the significance of Azerbaijan's enhanced transport infrastructure, which has been increasingly pivotal since the nation became a full member of the Central Asia consultative format last year. He highlighted Azerbaijan's strategic role as a bridge between Central Asia and Europe, a role that is anticipated to expand further in the future.

The collaboration between Germany and Azerbaijan is positioned to leverage these transit opportunities, with German companies playing a crucial role in the success of these initiatives. The partnership is seen as a key element in strengthening connectivity across the region, fostering economic growth, and enhancing trade routes between Central Asia and Europe.
