Kazakhstan's alternative route for oil exports to Europe: The President of Kazakhstan said that Kazakhstan exported 1.5 million tons of oil through Azerbaijan last year
Kazakhstan International News Agency - According to the news bureau of the presidential office, on the 21st, the President of Kazakhstan, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, stated at a press conference that Kazakhstan exported 1.5 million tons of oil through Azerbaijan last year.
President Tokayev stated that strengthening cooperation in the energy sector is one of the important topics of this meeting, and both countries have great potential in this field.
"I would like to particularly emphasize the cooperation of Kazakhstan's oil in the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline. Last year, nearly 1.5 million tons of crude oil were transported through Azerbaijan. In the near future, this number should increase significantly. The submarine cable project will promote the development of the country's energy system. This will consolidate our position in the "green" energy export field. We are working hard to transport Kazakhstan's uranium products to foreign markets through the territory of Azerbaijan. In this regard, I would like to thank the respected president of Azerbaijan for his support of all major initiatives and projects," he said.
The heads of state pointed out that artificial intelligence is developing rapidly, and the information technology field provides great opportunities for bilateral relations.
"Kazakhstan has accumulated rich experience in the digitalization of public services and the development of information technology. We are willing to carry out joint projects in this field. During the meeting, we emphasized the importance of accelerating the construction of the trans-Caspian fiber-optic communication network project. And instructed the governments of the countries to complete the project as soon as possible," he said.
