BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 18. Azerbaijan has
become an important actor in the global energy arena, initiating,
and financing, and implementing large-scale energy infrastructure
projects, President Ilham Aliyev said during his speech at the opening ceremony of the 2026 Annual
Meetings of the Islamic Development Bank Group.
The head of state also stated that Azerbaijan has implemented
projects connecting countries across Eurasia, providing the
necessary energy supply to those who need it, especially at a time
when energy supply chains are vulnerable, and when energy security
has become one of the main factors of every country's national
security.
