The energy projects now being implemented in Azerbaijan are the world’s largest ones. We have very good experience in this field. Very positive elements of regional cooperation are already seen. So, all the possible future elements of the fruitful cooperation will be discussed. It is not yet the question of new energy projects. We are in the stage of their feasibility study. I am sure that cooperation between the GUAM member countries will largely cover the energy field.
