BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 1. US supports conversation between Azerbaijan and Central Asia in the energy field, Geoffrey Pyatt, US Assistant Secretary of State for Energy Resources, said at a briefing, Trend reports.

"US are extremely supportive of energy conversations going on between Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan, for instance. I was able to engage in this conversation myself. And also Kazakhstan, in particular, the commercial cooperation between Kazakhstan’s KazMunayGas and Azerbaijan’s SOCAR," he said.

Pyatt noted that Azerbaijan acts as gateway to the European market for Central Asian countries.

"We are committed to sustaining energy partnership with Azerbaijan, because of the unique role Azerbaijan plays as a major oil and gas producer, as an obvious gateway for the countries of Central Asia, as they try to navigate the very difficult neighborhood they live in. So, this is an energy relationship that is of strategic importance," he added.
