Poland shows interest in oil and gas cooperation with Azerbaijan

Polish Senate Marshal Bogdan Borusewicz said his country shows interest in cooperating with Azerbaijan in the oil and gas sector.

In his meeting with Azerbaijani speaker Artur Rasi-zade on Wednesday, Borusewicz said Poland seeks “to involve Azerbaijan in the Odessa-Brody-Plock oil pipeline project.”

In his view, the creation of the Central Asia-Caucasus-Europe energy corridor will help ensure Poland’s energy security. In addition, the Polish Senate marshal thinks that Polish companies may take an active part in developing Caspian deposits by rendering services to oil companies, which work there.

At the same time, Borusewicz noted, “Poland considers Azerbaijan an energy source and a promising partner in other fields of economy.”

Poland’s possibilities of machine-building, manufacturing construction materials, machinery and household appliances, the food and light industries are presented at the Poland Expo exhibition currently under way in Baku.

Economics Deputy Minister Andrzej Koczmarek told a press conference that every fifth company maintains partnership with Azerbaijan. In his words, the development of bilateral trade and economic relations pins hopes. Trade turnover between Azerbaijan and Poland may double in the near future and reach 100 million U.S. dollars, the deputy minister stressed.
