In an interview with Azernews news agency, American
international affairs scholar and author of many books about
Azerbaijan and European studies Peter M. Tase spoke about the
recent visit of Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama to Azerbaijan, its
significance, and prospects for further cooperation between the two
countries.
Commenting on the issue, Peter Tase noted that the visit of the
Albanian prime minister to Baku on December 8 marks an important
geopolitical move in the bilateral relations that exist between
Azerbaijan and Albania.
He stressed that the political dialogue between the two
governments is at the highest levels and this visit will further
strengthen the bilateral economic partnership.
'Azerbaijan can provide significant support to Albania's efforts
in building an oil refinery. The energy economics of the European
Union can immensely benefit from the strong cooperation between
Baku and Tirana. President Ilham Aliyev has shown an outstanding
degree of vision and statesmanship when it comes to forging a
strategic alliance with Albania,' Tase added.
Further, he noted that the first-ever official visit of
President Ilham Aliyev to Albania on November 15, 2022, was the
most important accomplishment of Albanian foreign policy, since the
official visit of President George W. Bush to Tirana on June 10,
2007.
'The Republic of Albania has a great potential to apply the
successful grand tourism projects and five-star alpine resorts that
the efficient government of President Aliyev has adopted over the
last decade all over the territory of Azerbaijan. The
infrastructure and green technology used in the development of
Fuzuli and Zangilan International Airports; knowing that Vlora
International Airport is at its inception stages in Albania,' Tase
highlighted.
The pundit also underlined that natural gas exports from
Azerbaijan to Europe will experience significant growth, thanks to
the close brotherly relations that exist between Tirana and
Baku.
'Cooperation in the fields of postgraduate education among the
public universities of Azerbaijan and Albania, is another fulcrum
of bilateral cooperation, knowing that Azerbaijan has made
exceptional accomplishments in the engineering education and
natural sciences and technology sectors,' he finalized.
