Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev visited Berlin to meet with German Chancellor Merz, resulting in the signing of a strategic partnership declaration between the two countries. The agreement focuses on deepening bilateral ties in the areas of energy, transport, and trade.
During the visit, Chancellor Merz welcomed Azerbaijan's ongoing natural gas deliveries to Germany. These supplies are expected to reach 2 billion cubic metres annually by next year.
