BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 22. Another important area and, I think, business community should take it into account is a great potential in the area of logistics, connectivity and transportation, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said at the opening ceremony of the Azerbaijani-Lithuanian Business Forum in Vilnius, Trend reports.
"We look at transportation sector not only as a source of revenues from transit but opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises to establish manufacturing, business, services on route.
Today, Lithuania and Azerbaijan are important transportation hubs in our region. So, we need to create connectivity between the regions of Caspian and Baltic Sea and this is possible. Because if we look at the energy map of Europe it has been changed dramatically mainly due to the initiatives of Azerbaijan. Oil pipelines, gas pipeline create a completely new situation," President Ilham Aliyev said.
