This station (a new thermal power station with a capacity of 1280 megavatts in Mingyhevir) will build Azerbaijan along with its foreign partners, said President Ilham Aliyev at the TES foundation ceremony.
“Italian companies and Minister Made in Italy take part in today’s ceremony. I cordially welcome the respected guest. At the same time, one Chinese company will participate in the construction of this station. That is, we will do this work in the framework of international cooperation.
The participation of the Italian company in the construction of this station is not accidental. Italy is our strategic partner. Two documents on strategic partnership were signed between Italy and Azerbaijan, and mutual visits at a high level were organized. Since January of this year, Azerbaijan has already been visited by three ministers of the new government of Italy – Minister of Defense, Minister of Energy and today the Minister for Enterprise and Products of Made in Italy. In just a month – that is, the first visit was January 11, – 3 Ministers of the new government visited Azerbaijan. This indicates how really a high level is our relationship.
Of course, the ties between Azereneri and the Italian company Ansaldo play a decisive role here. I must note that the contracts between Azereneri and Ansaldo were signed immediately after the end of the Second Karabakh war, ”the head of state said.
