The United Kingdom is ready to support the implementation of the Middle Corridor project, including the introduction of British expertise, investment, and financing to create sustainable infrastructure.
As Report informs, this was stated at a press conference by the newly appointed British Ambassador to Azerbaijan, Duncan Norman.
He also noted that Azerbaijan and Armenia are taking steps toward a lasting peace based on dialogue and ongoing engagement between the two sides.
