BAKU, Azerbaijan, April 1. Azerbaijan will
establish a West Industrial Park as part of broader efforts to
strengthen the country’s mining (metal ores) and metallurgy
sectors, Trend
reports.
The initiative stems from a decree signed by the President of the Republic of
Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, on measures to ensure the development of
the mining (metal ores) and metallurgical industry in the
country.
The document notes that the modernization of ore processing
facilities in the Dashkasan and Gadabay districts, as well as the
commissioning of promising deposits in the liberated territories,
has expanded production and export capacities in the mining (metal
ores) and metallurgy sectors.
In addition, the creation of the West Industrial Park will
enable the expansion of iron ore processing and contribute to
deepening the value chain within the metallurgical industry.
The decree also emphasizes the need for additional measures to
ensure the efficient use of the existing mineral resource base,
strengthen production linkages between extraction and processing
stages, coordinate infrastructure and logistics solutions, and
expand public-private partnerships.
