The new agreement between Azerbaijan and the European Union may be finalized in the next few months, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev said in a joint press statement with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, APA reported.

"Of course, our agenda is quite extensive. We are working on a new agreement between the EU and Azerbaijan. We have discussed this with Madam President, and I hope that we can finalize it in the coming months. Of course, this would be an important contribution to our bilateral cooperation," he said.

Ilham Aliyev noted that the EU is Azerbaijan's main trading partner: "The implementation of our plans will certainly increase the overall turnover for the benefit of our nations. I am confident that EU-Azerbaijan relations will have a great future, and we will achieve everything we have planned," he added.
