"We are currently working on expanding infrastructure related to connectivity, as we did not anticipate that the significance of our geographical position would increase so dramatically in recent times. Our relations with our neighbors in both the West and the East are excellent," stated President Ilham Aliyev.
According to the Operative Information Center-OMM, President Ilham Aliyev made these remarks during the opening of the IV Shusha Global Media Forum. The head of state emphasized that Azerbaijan maintains robust relations with partners across Central Asia, Georgia, Türkiye, and Europe. He noted that integrating these connections required significant strategic steps to ensure the efficiency and viability of regional transport corridors.
The Shusha Global Media Forum serves as a premier international platform for discussing the future of journalism, the impact of new technologies, and the role of media in shaping global narratives. By hosting such events in Shusha, the cultural capital of Azerbaijan, the country reinforces its commitment to international dialogue and regional cooperation. Azerbaijan's focus on connectivity, particularly through the Middle Corridor, positions the nation as a vital transit hub linking East and West, thereby enhancing regional stability and economic integration.
