Georgian Deputy Minister: Azerbaijan reliable partner in energy sector

Azerbaijan is a reliable partner in the energy sector, Deputy Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development of Georgia, Vakhtang Tsintsadze, said during the panel discussion themed "Global cooperation for a sustainable and continuous energy future" within the framework of the 30th Anniversary International Caspian Oil and Gas Exhibition and the 13th Caspian International Energy and Green Energy Exhibition held in Baku.

Report quotes the deputy minister as saying cooperation between Georgia and Azerbaijan is excellent not only in the energy sector but also from a political perspective: "The two countries have become key states in energy projects implemented in the region. Like Georgia, Azerbaijan is a reliable partner in the energy sector. Currently, the diversification of energy sources is an issue of significant importance."

He noted that new energy projects envision the participation of the European Union, South Caucasus, and Central Asian countries: "In this sense, cooperation in the field of green energy is important. At a time when there is a demand for electricity in the world, the countries of the region can export electrical energy. By the way, the Green Energy Corridor is expected to have a capacity of 4,000 megawatts. Feasibility studies on this issue will be initiated."
