“A few days ago, we witnessed another manifestation of friendship. Both Serbia and Bulgaria, along with other member states of the Eastern European Group, supported Azerbaijan's candidacy, enabled the country to host the COP29 conference in Baku, demonstrating their solidarity,” said President Ilham Aliyev as he addressed the inauguration ceremony of the Serbia-Bulgaria Gas Interconnector.

The head of state noted: “This is once again a testament to our friendship, and at the same time, it shows that although Azerbaijan has rich oil and gas resources, we envision our future in the production and export of clean green energy. I am confident that the day will come when a similar ceremony will be held to mark the launch of green energy projects.”
