Timely and successful finalization of this project is critical for bringing alternative gas volumes to Europe. Azerbaijan is and will remain a committed partner to meet joint strategic interests in the field of energy security, Elmar Mammadyarov, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Azerbaijan said at the Eastern Partnership Ministerial Foreign Affairs Meeting.
According to him, there is huge untapped potential in the area of transport as well: “Azerbaijan continues to make all efforts to further contribute to the development of transit corridors in our region, particularly the East-West and South-North corridors. Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway project, expected to be operational by the end of this year, will join the ranks of the region’s most critical infrastructures once China’s Silk Road Economic Belt concept comes to the full reality. These projects bear more implications than mere economic-commercial benefits. They will serve as an effective instrument for engagement in wider areas of common interest between the EU and Azerbaijan”.
