It was noted that Azerbaijan, which has been exporting gas for nearly 20 years, has expanded its supply geography in the European market over the past six years, gaining access to Central Europe as well as the Middle East.
Currently supplying gas to 16 countries, Azerbaijan ranks among the world leaders in terms of the geographical reach of pipeline gas exports. To date, 131 billion cubic meters of gas have been exported to Türkiye, over 66 billion to Europe, more than 37 billion to Georgia, and 1.7 billion cubic meters to Syria.

The position of the Azerbaijani President regarding the importance of complementing commitment to the "green transition" with a pragmatic approach to energy realities was emphasized. It was noted that by developing natural gas and renewable energy sources in parallel, Azerbaijan is strengthening its domestic energy supply and generating additional resources for export.
In conclusion, Azerbaijan's commitment to strengthening cooperation within the GECF framework and developing mutually beneficial energy partnerships was reaffirmed.
