President Aliyev: Azerbaijan, as reliable transit country, makes valuable contribution to multilateral int’l co-op

BAKU, Azerbaijan, Oct. 28 Trend: Azerbaijan, as a reliable transit country, makes a valuable contribution to multilateral international cooperation, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev said Oct. 25 at the 18th Summit of Heads of State and Government of the Non-Aligned Movement member countries in Baku. “Energy security is provided in Azerbaijan,” Ilham Aliyev said. “Referring to the report of the Davos World Economic Forum again, I must say that Azerbaijan ranks second in the world in terms of access to availability. At the same time, Azerbaijan supplies energy to a number of countries. Azerbaijan, which plays the role of a bridge between the Asian and European continents, a country that has no access to the world ocean, has initiated and implemented a number of regional transport projects. As an active participant in the East-West and North-South transport corridor projects, we are currently working on other important projects – South-West and North-West. Thus, Azerbaijan, as a reliable transit country, makes a valuable contribution to multilateral international cooperation.”
