He made the remarks at a press conference on the opening of the
IX Global Baku Forum.
According to Plevneliev, Azerbaijan's energy strategy and policy
are aimed at supporting business, and relations with partners in
establishing energy supplies.
'We want to thank Azerbaijan for being a reliable, sustainable
energy partner,' Plevneliev added.
Speaking at the event, Former Vice President of ExxonMobil Jean
Baderschneider stated that Azerbaijan is expected to become a hydro
hub.
Emphasizing Azerbaijan's great potential for the production of
solar and wind energy, she noted that the country's energy
resources ensure its economic independence.
“Azerbaijan has considerable capacity related to renewable
energy,' she added.
Talking on the agenda of the 9th Global Baku Forum, Former Prime
Minister of Bosnia and Herzegovina Zlatko Lagumdzija noted that
discussions on sustainable development in the South Caucasus will
be held during the event.
Further, the official noted that the liberated Karabakh region
is not just a part of Azerbaijan.
'The word 'Karabakh' has several meanings. The region symbolizes
the genocides, aggression, and violations of international law,' he
added.
Similarly, Co-Chair of the Board of Trustees of the Nizami
Ganjavi International Center, Former Vice President of the World
Bank (WB) Serageldin Ismail noted that the restoration of Karabakh
is an important issue on the agenda.
'The restoration and development of the Karabakh region is an
important issue in the development of Azerbaijan as a whole,'
Serageldin said.
Noting the importance of the return of people to their homes, he
emphasized that the most difficult task today of demining the
territories is an obstacle to the further development of the
Karabakh region.
Moreover, he stressed that successful development in Karabakh
has already begun.
'Karabakh region has potential for development in many economic
areas, including energy. We hope that the recovery process will
lead to sustainable development in both energy and other areas,'
Serageldin said.
Later on, Serageldin shared his excitement about being in
Azerbaijan on the eve of the 9th Global Baku Forum.
While delivering a speech at the press conference, the co-chair
expressed hope for intensive discussions during the Forum that
would commence on June 16.
'A number of important issues will be discussed within the
forum. Hopefully, the talks and discussions over the next three
days will be effective,' he added.
