The President of Azerbaijan and the Prime Minister of Georgia exchanged wide views on the future energy policy
"Of course, today we had a broad exchange of views on our future energy policy."

Qazet.az reports that the President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said this on October 24 during a joint press statement with the Prime Minister of Georgia Irakli Garibashvili.

"As the Prime Minister mentioned, the implemented projects are already successfully operating and we are thinking about new projects. We intend to increase gas exports to world markets. This year we will export 22 billion cubic meters, and next year it will increase even more. In July of this year, Azerbaijan will meet with the European Commission. The memorandum on strategic partnership in the field of energy signed between Azerbaijan states that Azerbaijan will double its gas exports to Europe in the next 5 years.

Thus, we plan that in 2027 Azerbaijan's gas export to Europe alone will reach 20 billion cubic meters," the head of state said.
