"In recent weeks, we have seen a number of visits by delegations from Brussels-the European Commission and the European External Action Service-providing an excellent opportunity to take these relations, including in the economic and trade spheres, to a new level, which is of great importance. And as the German government, we strongly support this rapprochement, as the EU is Azerbaijan's strongest trading partner and largest investor, significantly ahead of any other single state. Therefore, the prospects for further development of these relations are very promising. And Germany, as the largest economy on the European continent, has a significant interest in this," emphasized Horlemann.
