August 6, Fineko/abc.az. Kazakhstan starts realizing a global green energy development and transfer project with Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan.

Kazakhstan’s Energy Minister Almasadam Satkaliyev made this statement during the first meeting of the Ministers of Energy of the Central Asian States in Astana.

He added that today the Central Asian countries face such challenges as global disruption of the stability of energy supply, fluctuations in oil and gas prices and other factors.

"In order to ensure the reliability of energy supplies, it is necessary to develop mechanisms for forecasting and managing these challenges, as well as strengthen cooperation between our countries," Satkaliyev suggested.
He also called on his colleagues to step up work to strengthen cooperation by expanding opportunities for energy trade and to establish the development of a low-carbon direction, achieving carbon neutrality and a phased energy transition.
"In addition, an important factor in the development of regional cooperation is the comprehensive attraction of investments and the implementation of large joint technological projects in the energy sector, in order to stimulate the development of modern energy infrastructure in Central Asian countries," the minister said.
According to Satkaliyev, the possibility of implementing joint projects in the gas industry should be explored.
The meeting is attended by the Ministers of Energy of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Deputy Minister of Energy of Azerbaijan Orkhan Zeynalov.
