The "Deal of the Century" is proof of what we can achieve by working together.

Axar.az reports that this was included in US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken's congratulations to President Ilham Aliyev and the people of Azerbaijan on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the signing of the "Contract of the Century".

"I am pleased to congratulate you and the people of Azerbaijan on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the signing of the "Contract of the Century", which helped Azerbaijan become an important energy supplier.

This year, when Azerbaijan will host COP29, the celebration of that date is of particular importance. Azerbaijan's commitment to the global energy transition is based on your country's decades-long history as a reliable partner in the energy sector.

We welcome your efforts to develop renewable energy use and green energy export routes that can strengthen Azerbaijan's leading role and transform the region," Blinken said.
