Abdullayev addressed the first session with a report titled ‘Transnational main oil and gas pipelines and mutual infrastructure relations’.

He pointed out that taking into account the facilities under construction, the total length of Azerbaijan’s transnational pipelines will reach 9,000 kilometers.

“We see on the example of Azerbaijan that the right choice of strategy regarding main oil and gas pipelines can be the locomotive of economic growth,” said SOCAR’s president. “Azerbaijan really believes that the transnational main pipelines will become the "silk parts" of the new great Silk Road. This in turn, will allow us to fairly share the profits between hydrocarbon producers, transit countries and consumers.”
