Bulgaria could play an important role in the Azerbaijan-EU green energy corridor through its developed electricity transmission system, according to Azerbaijan in Focus, reporting Trend, citing a source at the Bulgarian Ministry of Energy.
“Certainly, Bulgaria was one of the first countries to express open support for the project. In a letter of 3 April 2023, the Ministry of Energy supported the Strategic Partnership Agreement on Green Energy Development and Transmission between the governments of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Georgia, Romania and Hungary, and expressed the interest of the Bulgarian Government to join the joint the “Middle Green Corridor Project”. Bulgaria could play an important role in the project through its developed electricity transmission system, interconnections with neighbouring countries with high capacity, the well-developed electricity market, and the opportunities for investments in renewable energy, infrastructure projects and the growing demand for green energy,” said the source.
On December 17, 2022, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Romania, and Hungary signed a strategic partnership agreement that provides for the construction of an energy bridge from the Caucasus region to Europe.
As per the agreement, a 1,000 MW Black Sea Energy submarine electric cable spanning 1,195 kilometers is set to be constructed. The cable is intended to transmit ‘green’ electricity generated in Azerbaijan, routed through Georgia and the Black Sea to Romania, and further distributed to Hungary and the rest of Europe. This infrastructure will facilitate the supply of up to four gigawatts of green energy.

Both nations are famous for their hospitality, rich national cuisine and a huge heritage of folk crafts such as embroidery, wood carving and ceramics. Let this significant event become yet another bridge between our peoples and a testimony of common aspiration for beauty and harmony,” the Assistant to the President of Uzbekistan concluded.
After the speeches, the First Vice President of Azerbaijan, Mehriban Aliyeva, and the Assistant to the President of Uzbekistan, Saida Mirziyoyeva, familiarized themselves with the exhibitions “Azerbaijani Carpet – A Dance of Loops” and “A Doll in Art”’ prepared with support of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation.
The collection of carpets was prepared in eight years.

The carpets have breathed a new life into the ancient art of carpet weaving and aroused interest as unique samples of art.
The exhibition “A Doll in Art” features more than 200 dolls. Most of the works of art presented in the exhibition are made in a single copy and have great artistic value. Many of these works have won international puppet festivals and biennales.
Then, Mehriban Aliyeva and Saida Mirziyoyeva cut a ribbon symbolizing the opening of the exhibition “Heritage in Stitches: A Journey Through Embroidery and Sewing Traditions of Uzbekistan” and were familiarized with the exposition.
