Baku: Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev has called his country's comprehensive strategic partnership with China "a great success," Xinhua reported. During an interview with local television channels on Monday, President Ilham Aliyev said that establishing a comprehensive strategic partnership in 2025 has significantly boosted economic ties with China, providing a strong impetus for businesses and government agencies to step up contacts.

According to Azerbaijan State News Agency, the president noted that Chinese companies are actively participating in the construction of solar and wind power plants in Azerbaijan. He added that a local assembly project for electric buses involving Chinese automakers has already begun.

"When we decided to develop not only green energy but also green transport, we had to choose a strategic partner, and the choice fell on Chinese companies," President Aliyev stated. He added that the professionalism, quality, and speed of execution of these projects "have confirmed the correctness of this choice."
