Georgia’s Minister of Economy to join leaders from Azerbaijan, Romania, and Hungary at 12th Green Energy Corridor ministerial

The 12th Ministerial Meeting of the Green Energy Corridor is set to take place in Baku, bringing together senior government officials from Georgia, Azerbaijan, Romania, and Hungary.

Georgia will be represented at the high-level event by Mariam Kvrivishvili, the Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development.

During the summit, participants will review the feasibility study for the Green Energy Corridor project and draw up a comprehensive action plan to outline the initiative’s next strategic phases.

Key participants alongside Kvrivishvili include Parviz Shahbazov, the Minister of Energy for the Republic of Azerbaijan; András Tóth, State Secretary at the Hungarian Ministry of Economy and Energy; and Cristian Bușoi, the Romanian Minister of Energy.

According to the Ministry of Economy and Sustainable Development of Georgia, the groundwork for this initiative was laid on December 17, 2022, when Azerbaijan, Georgia, Romania, and Hungary signed a four-way agreement on a Strategic Partnership in the Field of Green Energy Development and Transmission. This accord aims to establish a new green energy route linking the South Caucasus to Europe, thereby diversifying energy supplies, bolstering energy security, and elevating the strategic prominence of this region.
