Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev supported the Turkmen’s proposals on the need to further build up partnerships in the fuel and energy sector, TDH reports. Ilham Aliyev announced it today at a meeting with President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov, which took place in the Avaza national tourist zone before the start of the first Turkmen-Azerbaijani-Turkish summit. 

Noting that the fuel and energy complex and transport were and remain the most important vectors of mutually beneficial cooperation, I. Aliyev fully supported the proposals of the Turkmen side on the need to further build up partnership in these most important areas.

During the meeting, the heads of the two states discussed the implementation of the agreements reached earlier.

A separate topic of discussion was the prospects of expanding interaction in the field of energy security, as well as creating a modern transit-transport infrastructure, taking into account the favorable geographical position of neighboring countries with colossal hydrocarbon resources. In this regard, the relevance of the Memorandum of understanding between the governments of Turkmenistan and Azerbaijan on joint exploration, development and development of hydrocarbon resources of the Dostluk field in the Caspian Sea was noted in Ashgabat in January last year.

The proximity of the views and positions of Turkmenistan and Azerbaijan on current aspects of international life, their active position in finding the optimal solution to the global problems of our time, was also noted.
