Azerbaijan is a strategic partner for Romania and our bilateral relations have rich potential.

Axar.az reports that the statement came from Romanian Foreign Minister Bogdan Aurescu on Twitter.

The diplomat arrived in Baku tonight with his Austrian and Lithuanian counterparts Alexander Challenberg and Gabrielius Landsbergis as part of a tour of the South Caucasus on June 25-26.

"We have just landed in Baku. We are preparing for meetings with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov," the Romanian minister said.

According to Aurescu, the visit is a good opportunity to reiterate the importance of EU-Azerbaijan cooperation.
