In a world increasingly driven by clean energy ambitions, Azerbaijan is positioning itself not merely as a producer or transit country—but as a regional architect of green energy connectivity. Its recent high-level engagements in Kazakhstan underscore a critical dimension of this strategy: leveraging partnerships with Central Asian countries to construct a multi-vector, sustainable energy corridor between East and West.
