On his part President Aliyev stressed that for Azerbaijan, Bulgaria is a very close partner and a friend, and he expects cooperation with it to continue successfully. Cooperation in power generation and infrastructure was a major talking point at the meeting. Bulgaria has an agreement with Azerbaijan for the delivery of 1 billion cubic meters of Azeri gas annually. Deliveries are expected to begin in 2020 via the gas interconnection with Greece.
