Talks within the Energy Working Group are likely to contribute to the implementation of the energy cooperation proposals advanced by Romania, as the direct dialogue with Azeri partners can allow the identification of new directions of cooperation in the energy sector," the government official added.Romania plans to import gas from Azerbaijan through the Southern Corridor in order to reduce reliance on Russian gas.
