BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 24. Türkiye attaches great importance to projects to deliver energy resources from Central Asian countries to end consumers, Turkish Trade Minister Omer Bolat told Trend.
"Our country's geostrategic location once again plays a key role in today's international system, where ensuring a secure energy supply is as important as the availability of energy resources. In this context, our country plays the role of an important storage and transmission center in the global transportation of many energy resources, especially natural gas," Omer Bolat said.
As the minister noted, Türkiye signs agreements with many countries, especially European ones, to ensure a secure international energy supply.
"In addition, we attach importance to the development of projects aimed at delivering the rich energy resources of friendly and brotherly Central Asian countries to end consumers, especially Europe," he said.
As Omer Bolat added, the uninterrupted continuation of global production and supply chains will help the world emerge from the current crisis.
Speaking about green energy, the minister noted that Türkiye continues to support green transformation in the field of economy, as in every field, in line with the vision drawn by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and within the scope of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
"Within the scope of the Zero Waste project, we aim to minimize the level of post-production waste and bring our carbon footprint in production in line with EU standards. We also encourage a transition to sustainable resources in the energy sector, which is one of the main production sources," the minister said.
As the minister added, many of Türkiye's companies continue their activities in order to realize the renewable energy potential of the country and are always ready to share their experiences with Central Asian countries.
