Baku: Azerbaijan's Prime Minister, Ali Asadov, has expressed the country's openness to Kyrgyzstan's intention to participate in the export of green energy to Europe. Asadov made the announcement during a meeting of the Heads of Government and Vice Presidents of the Member States of the Organization of Turkic States (OTS), which took place in Baku.
According to Azerbaijan State News Agency, Prime Minister Asadov highlighted Azerbaijan's significant investments in developing the Middle Corridor, which includes modernizing transport and logistics infrastructures.
