Турция и Азербайджан стремятся увеличить объем двусторонней торговли до 15 млрд. долларов США к 2023 году

Турция и Азербайджан стремятся повысить уровень торговли между ними до 15 млрд. долларов США к 2023 году. Об этом заявили лидеры двух стран, которые встретились в Баку во вторник (25 февраля). Президент Турции Реджеп Тайип Эрдоган и президент Азербайджана Ильхам Алиев приняли участие в заседании Совета стратегического сотрудничества Турция-Азербайджан высокого уровня, а затем выступили на пресс-конференции.

Обращая внимание на 14 документов, подписанных по итогам встречи, президент Эрдоган выделил преференциальное торговое соглашение среди этих документов как критически важное. «В 2019 году объем торговли составил около 4,5 миллиарда долларов. Наша цель - увеличить эту сумму до 15 миллиардов долларов к 2023 году. Мы должны этого достичь. В этом отношении большое значение имеет подписанное нами сегодня соглашение о преференциальной торговле, что будет способствовать углублению нашего сотрудничества во всех сферах: от таможни до сельского хозяйства, от энергетики до транспорта, от технологий до туризма», - сказал он.

В ходе встречи также обсуждался вопрос Нагорного Карабаха. Эрдоган заявил журналистам на пресс-конференции, что карабахский вопрос так же волнует Турцию, как и Азербайджан. «Мы очень хотим, чтобы нагорно-карабахская проблема была решена на основе суверенитета и территориальной целостности Азербайджана. Мы будем и впредь поддерживать законную борьбу Азербайджана», - добавил он.

Turkiye to host COP31 in 2026

A consensus has emerged during COP 30, currently being held in Belan, Brazil, that COP 31 will be held in the Turkish city of Antalya, in 2026. In 2026 Turkiye will host another global event, the NATO leaders summit. Turkiye is set to host COP31 after reaching compromise with Australia.  The COP31 climate meeting is now expected to be held in Turkey after Australia dropped its bid to host the annual event. Under the UN rules, the right to host the COP in 2026 falls to a group of countries made up of Western Europe, Australia and others. A consensus must be reached but neither country had been willing to concede. Australia has now agreed to support the Turkish bid in return for their minister chairing the talks following negotiations at COP30, currently being held in Brazil. This unusual arrangement has taken observers by surprise. It is normal for a COP president to be from the host country and how this new partnership will work in practice remains to be seen. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has called the compromise with Turkey an "outstanding result" in an interview with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), noting Pacific issues would be "front and centre". He added that he had spoken to Papua New Guinea Prime Minister James Marape and Prime Minister Rabuka of Fiji. There will be relief among countries currently meeting at COP30 in the Brazilian city of Belém that a compromise has been reached as the lack of agreement on the venue was becoming an embarrassment for the UN.
