“Another important event in our country was the 10th ministerial meeting within the Southern Gas Corridor Advisory Council and the 2nd Ministerial meeting within the Green Energy Advisory Council. The participation of 23 countries, 6 international organizations, 44 companies, ministers, deputy ministers and other high-level representatives in the event shows the importance of the corridor, the growing interest in it and the scale of the work done in this direction. It is known that the Southern Gas Corridor is a huge project and successfully implements a major mission. It shows what an important project the corridor is, especially in light of the complex processes taking place in the region in recent years. Within the framework of the project, the Azerbaijani side adequately, accurately and in a timely manner fulfills its duties, works diligently for the development and realization of all the intended goals”.

We see once again that our country has risen to the ranks of countries that play an important role in ensuring the energy security of the world. This, of course, as in other areas, is the result of a successful and effective energy strategy of our state. Today, the growing interest in Azerbaijani gas is obvious, the demand is high, and the number of states wishing to cooperate with Azerbaijan in this area is growing. In my opinion, it is worth recalling once again that this is also closely related to the fact that Azerbaijan is a tested, reliable and reliable partner. President Ilham Aliyev also touched upon this point in his speech. This is evidenced by years of experience that Azerbaijan attaches high value to every signature it makes. Take, for example, the Southern Gas Corridor. Our country did not allow any delays and did not make changes to the signed documents. This is du”The head of state also spoke about Azerbaijan’s green energy strategy. As we know, our country has great potential for renewable energy, and there is a clear program in the middle. Among the goals by 2030, one of the 5 national priorities is “clean environment” and “green growth”. And real steps are being taken in this direction. The works carried out with “ACWA Power” of the kingdom of Saudi Arabia and “Khizi-Absheron” wind power with a capacity of 240 megawatts, Garadagh solar power plants with a capacity of 230 MW with “Masdar” company of the United Arab Emirates are obvious manifestations of this. Among the upcoming goals of Azerbaijan is to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases by 2030 by 35 percent, and by 2050-by 40 percent. Also, our liberated territories have been declared a” green energy ” zone. These are indicators of the importance that our country attaches to the green energy economy,” the MP noted.
