Some of these programs were specially developed for application in the spheres of agriculture, education and health. There is an opportunity for Romania to establish mutual cooperation with Azerbaijan in various spheres, and in this way to strengthen relations with this country.

Relations between Azerbaijan and Romania are also very friendly. So we are interested in strengthening cooperation with Romania. We consider that cooperation and sharing of experience between Azerbaijani and Romanian companies will bring a lot of benefit to Azerbaijan,’ E.Valizade told.
