BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 28. Cooperation between Azerbaijan and the United States has ensured Europe's energy security, US Ambassador to Azerbaijan Mark Libby said at the event dedicated to the celebration of US Independence Day, Trend reports.
"In the beginning of the US-Azerbaijan energy cooperation, the US provided important support to the concept, construction, and implementation of the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline, as well as the Southern Gas Corridor. These projects are among our exciting, shared achievements. Without our partnership, this energy infrastructure would not exist, and Europe would have less energy security," he said.
The diplomat noted that today we are witnessing a strong, strategically important transformation in our energy sector relations between the two countries.
"Azerbaijan’s presidency of COP29 this year is the next chapter in our partnership. We are excited to work with Azerbaijan to support our shared goal of a successful COP – one that speeds implementation of commitments already made while raising our future ambitions for financing, emissions reduction, and other steps necessary to protect our planet for future generations and keep the dream of one-point-five alive," Libby added.
