Azerbaijan feels like part of the transition in the alternative energy sector and wants to be among the leading in the process.

The EPA reports that President Ilham Əliyev of the Republic of Azerbaijan announced this during the official opening ceremony of the 28th International Xerxes Petroleum and Gas Exhibition during Baku Energy Week.

The head of state has expressed satisfaction with the participation of more companies operating in alternative energy at the builkie event: "Energy security is not just the expansion of the lobby, but the expansion of these sources. I think everyone can clearly see that in our case, these are both - the expansion of the lobby, the expansion of sources. There should also be a very committed team job between companies, countries, international financial institutions. We really worked as a team. Because we have 1 goal—how can we strengthen energy security, how can we help each other cope with challenges?"
