On June 2, the 30th Anniversary International Caspian Oil and Gas Exhibition opened at the Baku Expo Center. The event is held as part of Baku Energy Week — the region’s key industry event that annually brings together global energy leaders. This year, Baku Energy Week unites three major events: the 30th Anniversary Caspian Oil and Gas Exhibition, the 13th Caspian International Energy and Green Energy Exhibition, and the 30th Anniversary Baku Energy Forum.
The official opening ceremony of Baku Energy Week began with a welcome address by Tomas Hurd, Board Advisor of “ICA Events” (UK).
The annual participation of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, once again underscored the high status of the event. In his speech, President Aliyev congratulated the participants of the anniversary exhibition, highlighted its historic and international significance, and wished success to all those involved in the organization and development of the Caspian Oil and Gas project.
Wyatt Toehlke- Senior Advisor for European and Eurasian Affairs at the U.S. Department of State, delivered a message on behalf of President Donald Trump to the exhibition participants.
Minister of Energy and Natural Resources of the Republic of Turkiye Alparslan Bayraktar read out a message from President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan addressed to the attendees.
Azerbaijan’s global oil strategy is inseparably linked to the historic “Contract of the Century,” which established the image of the country as a newly independent state and positioned Baku as a key center of not only regional but global energy policy. This was emphasized in the speeches of several foreign dignitaries.
Cristina Lobillo Borrero, Director of the Energy Platform Task Force, Directorate- General for Energy, European Commission; Haitham Al Ghais, Secretary General of OPEC; and Sophie Westlake, Head of the International Energy Joint Unit of the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office and the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, extended their congratulations on the anniversary and wished continued success to the Caspian Oil and Gas exhibition and the Baku Energy Forum.
According to foreign guests and stakeholders, the Caspian Oil and Gas exhibition is a traditional platform where leading oil, gas, and energy professionals meet to sign memorandums, agreements, and contracts on future cooperation.
