BAKU, Azerbaijan, April 29. The Netherlands
sees significant opportunities for cooperation with Azerbaijan in
the water sector, Dutch Ambassador to Azerbaijan Marianne de Jong
said during a briefing dedicated to King’s Day in Baku, Trend reports.
“We are trying to identify areas where we can cooperate more
actively, exchange experience, and bring additional value to
Azerbaijani society and the economy. We see potential not only in
the economic sphere but also in justice. However, within the
economic block, I would highlight three areas: water resources,
agriculture, and transport connectivity,” she noted.
De Jong emphasized that the Netherlands has historically
developed in close interaction with water, with a significant part
of its territory created through water management, land
reclamation, and engineering solutions.
“We have centuries of experience in this field. Since Azerbaijan
has also identified water issues as a priority, Dutch companies and
institutions are actively exploring opportunities for cooperation
with both the government and the private sector,” the ambassador
said.
