BAKU, Azerbaijan, February 10. Azerbaijan can
be a connecting link in the energy sector, Senior Vice President of
International Member Relations, Middle East & Türkiye, Khush Choksy
said during a briefing in Baku on February 10, Trend reports.
"Azerbaijan has excellent infrastructure. The country has used
its energy resources to diversify its economy and ensure economic
growth that benefits the population as a whole. Thus, one of the
advantages is the various opportunities for Azerbaijan's growth.
For instance, let's take the tourism sector: we can look at the
number of visitors to the country, the opportunities associated
with ski resorts and infrastructure, and the historical heritage of
Baku. This is just one example," he said.
According to Choksy, the second advantage is its geographical
location, which connects East and West.
"Azerbaijan can be a link in the energy sector, given Europe's
energy needs, as well as in transport routes, logistics,
manufacturing, and north-south connections. This is especially true
if the region around Azerbaijan continues to develop—today, for
example, it is already part of C5, which has become C6. Azerbaijan
is indeed in a geographical position that allows it to benefit from
access to several markets outside its territory," he said.
