US expresses interest in cooperating with Azerbaijan in green energy

Baku, The Gulf Observer: The United States is interested in cooperating with Azerbaijan in green energy production, US Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Global Markets Arun Venkataraman, said on Monday, according to media reports.

Speaking at the Azerbaijan-US Green Energy Forum in Baku, Venkataraman noted that the passage of the East-West transport corridor through the territory of Azerbaijan increases the interest of US transport companies in Azerbaijan.

He emphasized that the US-based EXIM Bank is ready to support Azerbaijan’s green energy projects.
