"There is successful cooperation in the social field between the European Union and Azerbaijan."

APA reports that Peter Mikhalko, the head of the Delegation of the European Union in Azerbaijan, said this at the opening ceremony of the EU Twinning Project "Support for pension reforms in Azerbaijan - Phase 2".

Peter Mikhalko noted that the first phase of this project has already been successfully implemented:

"This is an element of successful cooperation between the EU and Azerbaijan in the social field.

The European Union supports the development of public service, sustainability, and increasing the effectiveness of public institutions in Azerbaijan.

EU shares its experience with Azerbaijan.

The pension system is a source of income for people who have reached retirement age in every society.

The development and stability of this system occupies a very important place in the social agenda of most countries.

The EU allocated 1.5 million euros of financial support for the implementation of this project in Azerbaijan.

I hope that the goals will be reached within the framework of this project."
