Today, Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan stand as guarantors of stability, security, and cooperation in the region,” Mammadov said.

“By strengthening ties in the oil, gas, and energy sectors, the two countries can enhance their influence in the Eurasian energy market and play a leading role in forming alternative routes. Documents signed during the visit demonstrate an intent to expand cooperation into digital economy, innovation, and industrial sectors, adding new dimensions to bilateral relations,” he explained.
