Mr. Ruslan Nasibov as Charge d’Affaires
of Azerbaijan Embassy deliver his keynote speech and also reporting about economic
and social condition in Azerbaijan today. As we know, Azerbaijan became the
first country in the Muslim world who proclaimed its independence in 1918 and
became the first democratic Muslim state in the world. Mr. Ruslan also state
that this day they have also celebrate 100 years of Diplomatic Service of the
Republic of Azerbaijan.
In April 1920, Azerbaijan was
incorporated into Soviet Union by invasion of Bolsheviks as Azerbaijan Soviet
Socialist Republic. Just two years from Azerbaijan Democratic Republic proclaimed.
Azerbaijan finally can get their independence on October 18, 1991 and also
diplomatic service is created and until now Azerbaijan have 70 diplomatic
missions abroad.
When you look Azerbaijan today,
everything has growth in many sector and has rapid economic development. The poverty
in the country decreased 5.4 percent in last 15 years, economy grew more than 3
times, 260 billion USD have been invested into this country. In energy sector, Azerbaijan
have vast oil and gas reserves as their energy security system.
From Mr. Ruslan speech, I got the
information about Azerbaijan modern transportation named Baku-Tlibisi-Kars
Railway, East-West transportation corridor with modern Baku Sea Port and
connecting with Turkey region, has inaugurated in 2017 . Wow, it’s so cool to
have this modern transportation to connect the other countries such as Turkey and
South East Asia with Northern Europe for North-South transportation corridor.

founders will actively participate in the summit” said Mr. Ruslan. Another good
news is Azerbaijan will continue to sharing their experience in ASAN Service
