BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 9. Following the
restoration of our country’s sovereignty and territorial integrity,
the peace agenda we promote in the region opens new horizons for
our foreign policy and serves as a key factor in giving it a
broader, more global dimension, said President of Azerbaijan Ilham
Aliyev in his address to the participants of the 13th Meeting of
CICA Think Tank Forum themed “Resonance of Development and
Security: Regional Cooperation and Governance in the Institutional
Transformation of CICA.”
“Last month’s initialing of a peace agreement between Azerbaijan
and Armenia creates favorable opportunities not only for the region
but also for the wider geography,” the head of state
emphasized.
Situated along the East-West and North-South corridors,
Azerbaijan is emerging as one of the most important transport and
logistics hubs in Eurasia. I have no doubt that the Zangezur
Corridor, as a branch of the Middle Corridor, will soon serve as a
vital transport link connecting the continents. I am confident that
all these transport routes will also foster closer cooperation
among CICA member states,” President Ilham Aliyev added.
