“A real moment of opportunity has also emerged for Azerbaijan itself. Azerbaijan and Armenia are taking steps toward sustainable peace based on dialogue and continued engagement between the two sides,” UK Ambassador to Azerbaijan Duncan Norman said at a press conference today, APA reports.
According to him, this situation has the potential to create new opportunities for trade, investment and connectivity across the wider region:
“Just two weeks ago, we marked the first anniversary of the Washington Summit. We highly appreciate the political leadership demonstrated in taking this historic step toward peace. Over the past year, very important and tangible progress has been observed. We welcome these practical steps, including work on border delimitation, Azerbaijan’s energy supplies to Armenia and the cross-border ‘Peace Bridge’ initiative. The reopening of transport, energy and communication links can help ensure that peace between Azerbaijan and Armenia brings greater prosperity and security to the entire region.”
Duncan Norman noted that the United Kingdom stands ready to support the practical implementation of the project, including through British expertise, investment and financing for sustainable infrastructure and a more inclusive Middle Corridor: “There are close friendly relations between the United Kingdom and Azerbaijan. We work together on many issues and share the same views on many topics.
I look forward to further strengthening these friendly relations.”
