BRITISH PRIME MINISTER TONY BLAIR SENDS LETTER TO AZERBAIJAN PRESIDENT ILHAM ALIYEV
Mr. Tony Blair expresses deep satisfaction with both the reports on the meetings of the EITI National commission with Baku-based companies and organizations and the London presentation held in April 2004. The Head of the British Government considers these as extremely important steps in the framework of EITI.
The letter further says that adherence of the Azerbaijan Government to increasing transparency will become an important signal for international financial institutions, potential investors and other countries interested in the initiative. This will also have a positive impact upon general investment environment and play particular part in spending Azerbaijan oil resources on economic and social development of its people and the whole region.
Underlining that the adherence of the Azerbaijan President to building contemporary democratic society is praiseworthy, the Prime Minister reaffirms that the British Government and foreign partners on EITI support Azerbaijan.
