"The expansion of this project and the construction of interconnectors to meet the gas needs of Balkan countries are important issues."
Aliyev also hailed Azerbaijani-UK cooperation: "The signing of a new agreement to develop a block of oil fields Azeri-Chirag-Gunashli, work on the gas field Shah Deniz and other energy projects lay the foundation of the Azerbaijani-UK cooperation for the decades to come."
