Negotiations between the EU and Azerbaijan on a new bilateral agreement continue, and the next round of negotiations will take place today, said Azerbaijan's Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov during the meeting of foreign ministers of the EU's Eastern Partnership, Trend reports.

"First of all, I would like to express my gratitude for organizing today's meeting at the ministerial level. This meeting is a great opportunity for an open and sincere exchange of views on the current state and future activities of the Eastern Partnership," said Azerbaijani FM.

He noted that the Eastern Partnership is based on the common responsibility of all involved parties.
