“There have been many changes in the world from the time of the 8th advisory council of the southern gas corridor, which took place here a year ago. The world has changed. Energy security issues have acquired more and more importance for each country. And as we usually said during the meetings, energy Safety is really a matter of national security, ”the head of state noted.
The President of Azerbaijan emphasized that everything that was done through our joint efforts in the direction of building new routes and attracting new sources now seems much more necessary than ever before.
“And it is good that we did everything on time. We did not lose time in vain, although during the implementation of the Southern Gas Corridor project there were certain delays. But in general, we were simply very interested in the speedy end of this project, and now, and now, By the way, we are already talking about the expansion. The southern gas corridor was opened just a little more than two years ago, but today we are talking about the expansion of Tanap from 16 to 32 billion cubic meters and the TAP expansion from 10 to 20 cubic meters, ”the head of state added.
