BAKU, Azerbaijan, April 29. Azerbaijan and the Netherlands intend to broaden cooperation in the development of the Middle Corridor, Dutch Ambassador to Azerbaijan Marianne de Jong said during a briefing in Baku on the occasion of King’s Day, Trend reports.
“Another area we aim to focus on in the coming years is transport connectivity, especially in the context of the development of the Middle Corridor. We clearly see the strategic importance of Azerbaijan as a key transport hub on land and at sea. The Netherlands, in turn, also holds a strategic position in Northern Europe thanks to its maritime and land routes. In this regard, it seems to me that we have much to learn from each other,” she said.
The diplomat noted that active cooperation between the two countries in the port and logistics sectors has already been established and is set to be further expanded and strengthened.
“Rotterdam Port is the largest port in Europe, while Baku is gradually becoming an important regional and possibly global trade and logistics hub. Therefore, we are interested in further cooperation, exchange of experience, and joint project implementation, including within the framework of the development of the Baku Port and broader infrastructure initiatives,” she said.
