BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 3. Azerbaijani
President Ilham Aliyev made a working visit to Italy on September
1-2, Trend reports.
Azerbaijan's economic and political ties with Italy, which is
the most important member of the European Union, are successfully
developing, and this visit also contributed to the further
expansion of bilateral ties.
As part of the visit, President Ilham Aliyev, along with
meetings with state officials, took part in the annual
international forum held by the European House - Ambrosetti think
tank in Cernobbio, Italy.
The European House – Ambrosetti, operating since 1965, is
considered Italy's leading think tank in the field of management
and consulting services. The center has offices in Europe and
beyond, as well as an extensive partner network.
The European House of Ambrosetti, ranking first in Italy and
among the top ten European think tanks, aims to connect Italian
companies with partners in Asia and Africa and promote cooperation
through the organization of forums and various events where issues
are discussed, important for Italian and European companies.
The forum is attended by heads of state and government,
officials of countries of particular importance to Italy. In a
number of cases, heads of states and governments of various
countries, in most cases, ministers of economy and finance, heads
of international organizations, members of the European Commission,
top managers of influential companies take part in this event.
An indicator of the growing political authority of President
Ilham Aliyev in the world is the invitation of the head of the
Azerbaijani state as the main guest to this prestigious forum with
many years of history. Over the years, Prince Albert II, Kofi
Annan, Yasser Arafat, Jose Maria Aznar, Silvio Berlusconi, Joe
Biden, Richard Cheney, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Queen Rania
Al-Abdullah, Francois Fillon, Shimon Peres and other well-known
statesmen and politicians took part in the Cernobbio Forum over the
years.
President Ilham Aliyev spoke at the main plenary session of the
48th edition of Cernobbio Forum. All this is a consequence of the
growing political authority of Azerbaijan and President Ilham
Aliyev in the world. Against the backdrop of new world realities,
Azerbaijan and its leader are met with attention and are accepted
by the whole world.
In his speech on 'Azerbaijan's role in ensuring energy
security', President Ilham Aliyev mentioned a number of issues,
stressing that Azerbaijan is one of the main energy suppliers to
Europe.
All this once again confirms the growing interest of not only
large companies and states, but also authoritative think tanks in
Azerbaijan as a result of the wise policy of President Ilham
Aliyev.
