Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Economic Relations Peter Szijjarto recently stated that energy cooperation between Hungary and Azerbaijan is gaining new dimensions. According to Reuters, Szijjarto said that Hungary is in talks with Azerbaijan's state energy firm SOCAR to start importing gas via Southern Europe from the end of 2023, Azernews reports, citing Prime Minister.
"We have been in partnership with Azerbaijan for more than a decade. We currently have an agreement under which we plan to purchase 100 million cubic meters of gas from Azerbaijan in the fourth quarter of this year," Szijjártó said.
The Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban sought to expand the import-reliant European Union member's long-term gas contract with Russia during a visit to Moscow on Tuesday. President Vladimir Putin said Russia was ready to provide an additional one billion cubic meters of gas per year.
The EU and Azerbaijan have also signed a new Memorandum of Understanding
