As Azerbaijan accelerates efforts to diversify its economy beyond oil and gas, the government is placing increasing emphasis on developing non-oil sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing, and green energy. This strategic pivot – outlined in the country’s “Azerbaijan 2030: National Priorities for Socio-Economic Development” – seeks to create a more resilient, inclusive, and innovation-driven economy. In this context, President Ilham Aliyev’s visit on June 23 to key regions including Yevlakh and Goranboy stands as a clear demonstration of the state’s commitment to balanced regional development, technological modernization, and private sector empowerment.
