"Today, we are an indispensable partner with respect to the East-West and North-South corridors, and actually the only one which is actively participating and investing in both — the Middle Corridor and North-West Corridor," President Ilham Aliyev said this at the opening ceremony of the 13th Global Baku Forum, APA reports.
“And the third topic, which I also wanted to cover today, based on the existing challenges, is connectivity. We see that conflicts lead to the disruption of traditional transportation routes, creating enormous difficulties for people, countries, economies, and supply chains. And when connectivity and transportation routes are disrupted, most members of the international community find themselves in a very difficult situation. So here in Azerbaijan, we largely invested the revenues which we received from sales of fossil fuels into transportation and logistics infrastructure. And today, we are an indispensable partner with respect to the East-West and North-South corridors, and actually the only one which is actively participating and investing in both — the Middle Corridor and North-West Corridor. What we are doing now is just investing additional funds in order to expand the capacity of existing corridors, because the demand to go through Azerbaijan is growing. And we provide critical transit for many countries to the east and to the west of Azerbaijan,” the head of state noted.
