Both delegations also reviewed broader macro-economic strategies to develop the Caspian-Black Sea-Europe Green Energy Corridor. <\/p>\n<p>Expanding these specific transit routes allows both states to maintain reliable energy supplies while offering alternative logistics options for European markets currently navigating highly restricted supply chains. <\/p>\n<h2>Bilateral trade growth and industrial localisation<\/h2>\n<p>Despite severe logistical constraints and transport bottlenecks, economic activity between Baku and Kyiv remains robust. <\/p>\n<p>Official data released during the commission session indicates that bilateral trade turnover increased by 10.5% over the first eight months of 2026, driven directly by a 17% rise in Azerbaijani exports to Ukraine. <\/p>\n<p>Total mutual investments between the two nations reached $513.5 million (\u20ac460 million). <\/p>\n<p>To anchor these commercial ties, both governments are actively pivoting toward industrial localisation and technological partnerships to rebuild Ukraine&#8217;s heavy industrial base. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Ukraine is interested in joint production, localisation in Ukraine, and technological partnerships,&#8221; Shmyhal noted on X, extending a direct invitation to Azerbaijani firms to invest in distributed energy projects and logistics. <\/p>\n<p>In response, the Azerbaijani delegation pitched the Alat Free Economic Zone as a primary tax-free logistics hub for joint enterprise-level collaboration.<\/p>\n<div class=\"c-widget-related\" data-stories-id data-event=\"widget_related\">\n<div class=\"c-widget-related__title\"><b class=\"c-widget-related__title__text\" lang=\"en\">Related<\/b><\/div>\n<ul class=\"c-widget-related__list\" id=\"abe-article-related-1\">\n<li class=\"c-widget-related__item\">Russia strikes power plants in Ukraine despite &#8216;energy ceasefire&#8217; announced by Trump<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>The summit officially concluded with a targeted site visit to the Khust Industrial Park, where officials inspected a wind turbine manufacturing facility and the Azerbaijani-owned ATEF enterprise to assess direct opportunities for joint production.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>                                  Go to accessibility shortcuts<\/p>\n<div class=\"c-article-share-comment u-align-items-center u-display-flex\"><span class=\"c-article-share-comment__links u-align-items-center u-display-flex u-justify-content-center js-c-article-share-comment-share\"><span class=\"c-article-share-comment__label\">Share<\/span><\/span><span class=\"c-article-share-comment__label\">Comments<\/span><span class=\"c-article-share-comment__label c-article-share-comment__label--always\">Add Euronews on Google<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"adb-article-you-might-also-like\" class=\"perf-cv-auto c-article-you-might-also-like\">\n<h2 class=\"c-article-you-might-also-like__title\">\n        Read more<br \/>\n      <\/h2>\n<div class=\"c-article-you-might-also-like__item\">\n<h3>\n<p>                  Protesters across Europe to call for freeze on energy hungry data centres <\/p>\n<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"c-article-you-might-also-like__item\">\n<h3>\n<p>                  Brussels to host talks on Ukraine&#8217;s reconstruction with key allies<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"c-article-you-might-also-like__item\">\n<h3>\n<p>                  How can the EU support 50 million Europeans who can\u2019t heat their homes?

noting that the newly adopted action plan will guide the period ahead.\u00a0Grid defence and emergency energy assistance\u00a0A critical focus of the Uzhhorod summit was the physical protection and stabilisation of Ukraine&#8217;s national energy grid ahead of the winter months.\u00a0First Deputy Prime Minister Shmyhal and Shahbazov toured a western Ukrainian energy facility to inspect &#8220;second-level protection&#8221; systems designed specifically to defend critical power infrastructure against ongoing Russian military attacks.\u00a0During the site visit, officials confirmed the delivery of the latest Azerbaijani emergency equipment shipment, valued at $1.47 million (\u20ac1.32 million).\u00a0This strategic dispatch includes nine industrial transformers, 186 kilometres of high-voltage cables, generators, and 12 kV electrical distribution gear required for rapid grid repairs.\u00a0&#8220;We express our gratitude to Azerbaijan for its constant and substantial assistance in recovery efforts following Russian strikes,&#8221; Shmyhal stated on X following the inspection.\u00a0&#8220;We are particularly grateful for transformers, generators, and everything else energy workers need.&#8221;\u00a0This recent package brings Baku\u2019s total humanitarian, rehabilitation, and reconstruction assistance to Ukraine to $52 million (\u20ac47 million) since the outbreak of the war.\u00a0Beyond immediate emergency aid, the two nations are strategically aligning their long-term energy transit routes to ensure uninterrupted cross-border trade.\u00a0During the accompanying Azerbaijan-Ukraine Business Forum, discussions shifted toward deep structural integration and the joint utilisation of existing regional infrastructure.\u00a0The Ukrainian government actively pushed for the coordinated use of the Trans-Balkan route alongside its vast underground gas storage facilities and established oil pipeline networks. Both delegations also reviewed broader macro-economic strategies to develop the Caspian-Black Sea-Europe Green Energy Corridor.\u00a0Expanding these specific transit routes allows both states to maintain reliable energy supplies while offering alternative logistics options for European markets currently navigating highly restricted supply chains.\u00a0Bilateral trade growth and industrial localisation\u00a0Despite severe logistical constraints and transport bottlenecks, economic activity between Baku and Kyiv remains robust.\u00a0Official data released during the commission session indicates that bilateral trade turnover increased by 10.5% over the first eight months of 2026, driven directly by a 17% rise in Azerbaijani exports to Ukraine.Total mutual investments between the two nations reached $513.5 million (\u20ac460 million).\u00a0To anchor these commercial ties, both governments are actively pivoting toward industrial localisation and technological partnerships to rebuild Ukraine&#8217;s heavy industrial base.&#8221;Ukraine is interested in joint production, localisation in Ukraine, and technological partnerships,&#8221; Shmyhal noted on X, extending a direct invitation to Azerbaijani firms to invest in distributed energy projects and logistics.\u00a0In response, the Azerbaijani delegation pitched the Alat Free Economic Zone as a primary tax-free logistics hub for joint enterprise-level collaboration.The summit officially concluded with a targeted site visit to the Khust Industrial Park, where officials inspected a wind turbine manufacturing facility and the Azerbaijani-owned ATEF enterprise to assess direct opportunities for joint production.<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/2026\/11\/06\/azerbaijan-and-ukraine-forge-new-energy-defence-and-trade-agreements&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/98\/11\/93\/1200x675_cmsv2_34d987c0-d9c4-561a-a19c-4ef0e572e278-9981193.jpg&#8221;] USA Meghan Markle&#8217;s father reportedly arrested in Florida over child porn Russia Iran official delivers secret Khamenei message to Putin in Moscow trip Travel News What to expect onboard Singapore Airlines\u2019 new long-haul cabins Azerbaijan Baku real estate expo showcases Azerbaijan\u2019s tech-driven urban future News World Azerbaijan Azerbaijan and Ukraine forge new [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[90],"tags":[226,36],"class_list":["post-2241766","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-international","tag-crawlmanager","tag-euronews-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2241766","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2241766"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2241766\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2241766"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2241766"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2241766"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
