BAKU, Azerbaijan, Nov. 11
By Leman Zeynalova - Trend:
Azerbaijan is also eyeing cooperation with Saudi Arabia in the field of gas, Azerbaijan’s Energy Minister Parviz Shahbazov told Asharq Al-Awsat, Trend reports.
“We have a desire to cooperate in the gas sector and gas power generation, which will certainly be one of the channels for expansion of cooperation between the two countries soon,” said Shahbazov.
Shahbazov stressed that the coronavirus pandemic had produced a real crisis in global energy markets. He affirmed that more crises would take place in the future if the mechanism for cooperation remains absent.
“This calls for using our experiences in dealing with such situations to address the urgent issues facing the work of the (OPEC +) mechanisms in global energy markets. In general, we began to cooperate and work with each other and we were able to achieve a form of sustainability for oil supplies, We were able to launch a program to increase energy production supplies in global markets step by step and month by month, and this program will continue with us until the end of this year and the whole of 2022,” said the minister.
