Azerbaijan invested in the “One Belt and One Road” initiative financially and politically, President Ilham Aliyev said during the video conference entitled ‘South Caucasus: Prospects for Regional Development and Cooperation’ held by Nizami Ganjavi International Center, Trend reports.
“Talking about the logistical support to connect Asia and Europe and Chinese “One Belt and One Road” initiative, this is also a very important part of international agenda. Azerbaijan on its territory completed all the necessary transportation projects, and together with the partners already we have an important connection between Asia and Europe as part of the “One Belt and One Road” initiative. Providing our infrastructure, including our sea port, the biggest Caspian vessel fleet and railroad opportunities in order to be part of this important project. So, we invested in this project financially and politically and I hope that these two important dimensions, energy security and transportation security will play an important role not only for the future economic development in Azerbaijan, because it will generate additional revenues, but it will seriously contribute to regional stability, because the countries become inter-dependent, countries become members of one team, as we sit in one boat. Of course, the level of mutual support will definitely grow,” the head of state said.
