BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 7. Relations between the European Union and Azerbaijan have gained new momentum in recent months, the German Ambassador to Azerbaijan, Ralf Horlemann said, Trend reports.
He made the remark at the German-Azerbaijani Conference on Export Financing 2025 on the topic “Innovation and Technology meets Finance.”
