President Ilham Aliyev: Italy-Azerbaijan relations provide interests of a large geography
Baku, February 13, AZERTAC
“Italy-Azerbaijan relations not only provide the interests of our two countries, but also provide the interests of a large geography,” said President Ilham Aliyev as he addressed a groundbreaking ceremony for a thermal power plant, the largest in Azerbaijan`s independence period.
“I should also say that our cooperation is not limited to the energy sector. Italy is the main trading partner for Azerbaijan. Currently, a new building of the Azerbaijan-Italy University is being built in Baku. Italian companies are very actively involved in restoration and reconstruction work on the liberated lands - restoration and construction of religious sites, construction and design of victory museums. So, this is indeed a very strategic partnership, and of course today's ceremony shows that again,” the Azerbaijani President emphasized.
