BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 25. Azerbaijan is a
reliable energy partner for a growing number of countries, said
President Ilham Aliyev in today's address to the participants of the 2nd Azerbaijan
International Investment Forum.
"Our vision increasingly extends beyond energy supply to the
development of green energy corridors, enabling the integration of
renewable energy into regional markets and strengthening
connectivity between Azerbaijan, the wider South Caucasus, Central
Asia and Europe.
Beyond traditional energy sector, Azerbaijan offers significant
opportunities in manufacturing, transport and logistics, renewable
energy, digital technologies, agriculture and food processing,
tourism, infrastructure and other high-value sectors, including the
reconstruction and development opportunities emerging in the
liberated territories. Particular importance is attached to
projects that introduce advanced technologies, raise productivity,
create skilled employment and strengthen our integration into
regional and global value chains.
Modern infrastructure, industrial parks, the Alat Free Economic
Zone and public-private partnership mechanisms provide a strong
basis for such cooperation. We will continue to improve these
instruments and to create conditions that allow investors to
implement long-term projects with confidence.
Our approach to investment goes beyond attracting capital. We
value technology, expertise, innovation and access to new markets,
and seek partnerships that create sustainable value for investors,
while strengthening the modernization and competitiveness of
Azerbaijan's economy. The 2nd Azerbaijan International Investment
Forum provides an important platform to advance these
partnerships," the head of state added.
