DAVOS, Switzerland, January 21. Azerbaijan is
the only reliable, safe, and friendly destination country for
Europe to have a connection with Central Asia, said President of
Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev as he responded to questions from business
representatives from various countries during an event titled
“Azerbaijan Executive Breakfast,” held as part of the annual
meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Trend's special correspondent reports.
Noting that Azerbaijan plays an important role in the European
Union’s “Global Gateway” project, which will connect Europe with
Central Asia, the head of state emphasized that the country has so
far mainly invested in transportation infrastructure: “Almost
everything is already ready. But the volume of cargo is growing so
fast that we have made a decision to increase the capacity of our
Trade Sea Port. Thus, connectivity, including the Trump Route for
International Peace and Prosperity project, will also engage
Armenia into the broader regional transportation network of Central
Asia and will contribute to the cause of peace. Because Armenia’s
roads will be opened, it will get benefits from tariffs, and will
take part in broader international cooperation.”
