BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 14. I witnessed the great attention German business people are paying to Azerbaijan's economy, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said at a joint press conference with Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany Olaf Scholz in Berlin, Trend reports.
"I had a meeting with about 30 German business people yesterday. During the two-hour meeting, I witnessed the great attention German business people are paying to Azerbaijan, Azerbaijan's economy and opportunities. In addition, there are ample opportunities in the direction of joint development and exploitation of renewable energy, and we have exchanged views on this today. Azerbaijan has a very large renewable energy potential. The wind energy potential of the Caspian Sea alone is equal to 157 gigawatts, and several contracts have already been signed. I am sure that Azerbaijan will export not only natural gas, but also green energy to Europe in the future.
Overall, business opportunities are very extensive. I have invited German business people to come to Azerbaijan and closely examine future business opportunities through contacts with our relevant institutions," President Ilham Aliyev said.
