    Javier SOLANA, European Union High Representative for the Common
    Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP), had a meeting today with President
    Ilham ALIYEV of Azerbaijan.

    At the meeting they discussed the latest developments in Azerbaijan,
    regional issues and EU-Azerbaijan relations, in particular the
    forthcoming Eastern Partnership and Southern Corridor summits to take
    place in Prague on 7 and 8 May 2009.

    Mr SOLANA and Mr ALIYEV stressed the importance of reinforcing ties
    between the EU and Azerbaijan. The Eastern Partnership initiative will
    be an excellent means of contributing to the stability and prosperity
    of Azerbaijan and the region as a whole.

    They also discussed the Nagorno-Karabakh settlement. Mr SOLANA strongly
    supported all the diplomatic efforts led by the "Minsk Group" for a
    peaceful resolution of this conflict.

    Energy was another important issue on the agenda. Mr SOLANA agreed
    with Mr ALIYEV that energy security was one of the big challenges
    facing us. He encouraged President ALIYEV to continue working closely
    with the EU.

    The EU encourages Azerbaijan to make further progress with political
    reforms, in particular freedom of the media and human right issues.
