BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 3. Azerbaijani
President Ilham Aliyev’s participation at the International
Cernobbio Forum as a main guest upon invitation of President of the
Italian Republic Sergio Mattarella, President of the Council of
Ministers of the Italian Republic Mario Draghi, and ‘European House
– Ambrosetti’ think tank is yet another example of deep respect for
Azerbaijan and its leader, political expert Elchin Mirzabayli told
Trend.
“The Ambrosetti Forum, which was held every year since 1975, is
among the most prestigious international economic platforms with
the number of leaders from numerous countries, representatives of
states and governments, Nobel Prize winners, as well as scientists
and businessmen, participating in it. The recent reports delivered
on different topics by various prominent politicians such as Recep
Tayyip Erdogan, Shimon Peres, Joe Biden, George Schultz, Richard
Cheney, José Barroso, Felipe González, Alain Juppé, Henry
Kissinger, Silvio Berlusconi, Bill Gates, Jimmy Welsh, and others
testify to the global significance of this platform. Moreover,
topics of this year’s forum deserve special attention against the
background of the global economic crisis and geo-economic
cataclysms,” he said.
According to Mirzabayli, the discussions on “Intelligence on the
World, Europe and Italy” and “Today’s and tomorrow’s scenario for
competitive strategies” are aimed to predict a more secure future
within the existing global realities.
He noted that while delivering a report on “The role of
Azerbaijan for energy security” at the plenary session of the
forum, President Ilham Aliyev didn’t only talk about the energy
security of Europe, but also the resolution of more global existing
and expected problems in the energy sector.
“We are talking about the significance of the policy pursued by
our country in this sector. In this regard, I would like to
emphasize the energy dialogue between Azerbaijan and the EU and its
coverage of all segments of the energy market. In my opinion,
today’s Azerbaijan under the leadership of President Ilham Aliyev
opens up multilateral prospects and defines new cooperation
priorities that are capable of preventing all threats to the
European and world’s energy security,” Mirzabayli stressed.
