BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 25. Our approach to
investment goes beyond attracting capital, President Ilham Aliyev
said in his address to the participants of the 2nd Azerbaijan
International Investment Forum.
“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 President said in his address.
“The results of the First Azerbaijan International Investment
Forum clearly demonstrated rising interest in Azerbaijan. Last
year, investment agreements worth over 10 billion US dollars were
signed, more than 7 billion of which related to the non-oil
sector.
This year, the geography of participation has expanded further,
with broader representation from international institutions,
investors and leading companies - reflecting both confidence in
Azerbaijan and the growing economic significance of the wider
region. I expect that within the framework of the 2nd Azerbaijan
International Investment Forum, significant investment projects
will be launched with international investors and partner
companies.
I am confident that the discussions in Baku will generate
concrete initiatives and long-term cooperation, contributing to
stronger economic ties, greater connectivity and shared prosperity
across the region,” President Ilham Aliyev added.
