Azerbaijan is strengthening its role in international energy projects through foreign investment, Azerbaijan’s Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov said on Thursday, describing the energy sector as a central pillar of the country’s economic diplomacy.
Speaking at a press conference reviewing Azerbaijan’s foreign policy outcomes for 2025, Bayramov said energy cooperation was helping the country deepen international partnerships and expand its geopolitical influence.
"Our energy sector is a key tool of economic diplomacy," he said, adding that it had enabled Azerbaijan to build long-term strategic ties with a growing number of countries.
Azerbaijan’s gas export reach has expanded significantly since 2020, Bayramov mentioned, highlighting the completion of the Southern Gas Corridor, which increased the number of countries receiving Azerbaijani gas from two to 14 within five years.
New exports began in 2025, with Azerbaijan supplying between one and two billion cubic metres of natural gas to Syria, marking an expansion of its regional energy engagement.
Azerbaijan is also investing in major energy projects abroad, including in the United Arab Emirates, Israel, Türkiye and Uzbekistan, initiatives Bayramov noted were creating economic opportunities while strengthening the country’s strategic reach.
More broadly, the foreign minister said Azerbaijan had pursued an independent, balanced and pragmatic foreign policy in 2025 despite complex global geopolitical conditions, reinforcing both bilateral and multilateral cooperation.
He added that economic diplomacy was closely linked to Azerbaijan’s ambition to position itself as a regional transport, energy and trade hub.
