Qasym-Jomart Toqayev, Ilham Aliyev, and Shavkat Mirziyoyev agreed on a strategic partnership for producing and transit of environmentally friendly energy, Orda.kz reports, citing the presidential press service.
At the World Climate Summit COP29, the three presidents inked an agreement on cooperation in green energy.
The President of Kazakhstan noted that this agreement opens up opportunities for developing Central Asia and the South Caucasus. The agreement will allow the countries to integrate their energy systems and establish reliable routes to supply green energy to European and other international markets.
Kazakhstan plays a vital role here as a major transit territory. The practical results of this agreement will also contribute to developing the Middle Corridor as a 'green bridge' connecting our economies,Toqayev commented.
Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev stressed that the agreement strengthens brotherly ties and takes the strategic partnership of the three countries to a new level.
The regions of Central Asia and the Caucasus act in a coordinated manner on many issues, including the development of "green" energy. We are familiar with the large-scale plans and successes already achieved in creating renewable energy sources in Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, he noted.
Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev added that the agreement has economic significance and a significant environmental component.
The energy that will be transmitted is wind and solar energy, which will help reduce the impact on the climate. This also reflects our overall contribution to climate protection, in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement and sustainable development, Mirziyoyev stated.
Kazakhstan is actively striving for carbon neutrality and developing "green" technologies.
Toqayev emphasized that the country has already agreed with international partners to construct "green" projects with a total capacity of 43 GW.
Kazakhstan plans to increase the share of renewable energy sources in its total production volume to 15% by 2030.
