Lord Hunt
Lord Hunt will be briefly visiting Baku while traveling from Turkmenistan to Kazakhstan on March 3. His visit will be the culmination of a regional tour, which he started in September while traveling Turkey and Azerbaijan, which now includes Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan.
During his very brief visit to the country, Lord Hunt is expected to meet with the President of the State Oil Company of Azerbaijan Republic Rovnag Abdullayev.
Lord Hunt said: "Azerbaijan is a rapidly developing country strategically situated in the wider Europe region. Over the last decade major projects like the development of the ACG and Shah Deniz oil and gas fields and the BTC pipeline have made Azerbaijan an important world energy supplier.
The Caspian countries, of which Azerbaijan is one, have significant hydrocarbon reserves which could greatly benefit European consumers. The dream of piping Caspian gas directly into Europe is now approaching reality".
