The presence of fruitful cooperation between the SPECA countries in a number of spheres, including economic, trade, energy, security, alternative energy, transport, communications, environment, innovation, implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals, etc., was noted.
The parties further underlined the importance of existing initiatives and projects in the field of development of regional transport and communication lines, including the expansion of opportunities of the Middle Corridor.
Tatiana Molcean positively assessed Azerbaijan's efforts during the SPECA presidency, aimed at transforming it into a platform that meets modern challenges, and expressed hope that the SPECA summit, which will be held tomorrow in Baku, will play an important role in strengthening cooperation within the framework of the program.
