On January 9, António Costa, President of the European Council, made a phone call to Ilham Aliyev, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan.

During the phone conversation, they exchanged views on transport cooperation between Azerbaijan and the European Union, particularly on cargo transportation via the Trans-Caspian-Middle Corridor route, the project to establish a green energy corridor connecting the Caspian and Black Sea basins, Azerbaijan's gas exports to EU member states, and collaboration in the energy sector. Both sides agreed to continue contacts.
