Expressing his gratitude for the bank's support of the projects being implemented by Azerbaijan, the head of state stressed the need for determining the future format of cooperation both in terms of development processes at the regional level and the “Azerbaijan 2030: National Priorities for Socio-Economic Development”, which is already being implemented in the country.

He stated that the successful experience Azerbaijan had gained in various areas, including the field of “Electronic Government”, could be applied by the bank in other countries.

Expressing his gratitude for the kind words, President Ilham Aliyev expressed his confidence that this cooperation would be continued successfully in the face of new global challenges. Touching once again on the “Azerbaijan 2030: National Priorities for Socio-Economic Development”, the head of state emphasized that reconstruction projects in Karabakh and Eastern Zangezur were one of the top priority areas for Azerbaijan. President Ilham Aliyev pointed out that the East-West transport corridor, digital transformation and renewable energy fields also occupied an important place in the economic development of Azerbaijan, noting that a large number of partners and investors were already involved and would be involved in the projects being implemented in these areas. The head of state said that Azerbaijan’s successful geographical location, favorable business environment and rich economic potential created a good basis for future cooperation and development.
