Azerbaijan joins World Energy Forum

Azerbaijan energy and industry Minister Natiq Aliyev has participated in the World Energy Forum in Dubai, the UAE.

The World Energy Forum has been held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates and Ruler of Dubai. This was the first time that this High-Level International Energy Conference was taking place outside the headquarters of the United Nations.

The United Nations has designated 2012 as the International Year of Sustainable Energy for all. Leaders from Member States of the United Nations, international organizations, and corporations sought tangible progress towards cleaner, safer, and more sustainable energy as well as achieving universal access to modern energy services. One of the primary objectives of this conference is to chart a roadmap for a sustainable energy mix that can fuel global economic and social development. The forum provides a unique opportunity to exchange new ideas on global energy issues from the perspectives of policy, technology, and business.
The forum has brought together over two thousand delegates, including several heads of state, scores of national energy ministers, and top leaders from the industry.

World Energy Forum is creating a global conversation searching for answers and practical solutions by inspiring technological innovations and research as well as facilitating political will to meet the challenges facing humanity.
