Before you came to Azerbaijan, I looked at the data and saw that more than $ 30 billion had been invested in Azerbaijan by the United Kingdom. That's really a lot.

Axar.az reports that the statement came from Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev during a meeting with British Export Minister Graham Stuart on May 21.

"It has helped our development. It has helped us not only to develop the oil and gas industry but also to our overall development because this investment has led to revenues that are part of our budget and reinvested in non-oil sectors." "Today, cooperation continues very actively. BP has been our strategic partner for 30 years, and at least for the next 30 years, because there are new prospects, new agreements have been signed," the President stated.
