BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 1. Azerbaijan, as a host for COP29, has a fantastic opportunity to build on the momentum from COP28, said US Ambassador to Azerbaijan Mark Libby, Trend reports.
He made the remark at the 10th Southern Gas Corridor Advisory Council Ministerial Meeting and the 2nd Green Energy Advisory Council Ministerial Meeting held today in Baku.
