BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 13. Azerbaijan is a crucial country in terms of ensuring Europe's energy independence and energy security, Deputy Marshal of Poland's Senate Michal Kaminski told Trend on the sidelines of the 12th Global Baku Forum in Azerbaijan.
He recalled that many European countries are already receiving significant amounts of energy resources from Azerbaijan.
"This shows that Azerbaijan can easily be a very safe and reliable partner for Europe from a strategic point of view," the MP said.
He also shared his impressions of the 12th Global Baku Forum.
"The 12th Global Baku Forum reflects Azerbaijan's growing importance and influence in the world, and I am pleased to note this, because I am a permanent participant of the Global Baku Forum.
The Global Baku Forum has become one of the most important platforms for exchanging ideas not only in the region but also in Europe, and I would say, in the entire world. This fact itself shows us how important Azerbaijan is as a meeting point for different perspectives, geostrategic strategies, viewpoints, and positions.
All parties have the opportunity to come to Azerbaijan, share their thoughts, and engage in a very honest discussion to achieve a better world because this is something we all need," Kaminski underscored.
