Baku, 10 June (AzerTAc). Vice-Consul of Azerbaijan`s Consulate General in Los Angeles Elshan Baloglanov attended the fourth “New Silk Road Conference” held Monday in Chicago, the U.S.
Addressing the event, Baloglanov told of the history of Azerbaijan`s oil industry, the country`s contribution to global energy supply, the “Contract of the Century”, Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan oil and Baku-Tbilisi-Erzurum gas pipelines.
“In addition to delivering its own hydrocarbons to western markets, Azerbaijan is ready to act as a transit route to assist other Caspian littoral states to transport their energy resources”, Baloglanov emphasized.
He noted the Azerbaijani government uses oil revenues to develop non-oil sector in the country. To achieve efficient use of the revenues, the government set up some structures including the State Oil Foundation, AZPROMO and Azerbaijan Investment Company.
