“We have been exporting natural gas to Hungary since last year,” said President Ilham Aliyev during a press statement with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, APA reports.
“I noted today, and the Prime Minister noted here too, that we can arrange gas supply at the level of Hungary's demand. Our gas resource base is quite extensive and is expanding, new gas fields will be put into operation. Today, we export natural gas to 12 countries, and ten of them are European countries, eight are members of the European Union. The European Commission recognizes Azerbaijan as a Pan-European gas supplier and a reliable partner. If we look at the geography of our gas exports, we can see that Azerbaijan holds leading positions in the world not only in Europe, but also globally in terms of the geographical coverage of pipeline-based gas transportation. Our future plans include the development of gas reserves,” the President emphasized.
