Building a Blooming Friendship: The Upward Path of Relations Between Azerbaijan and the United Arab Emirates

-


Since the early 1990s, Azerbaijan and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have maintained an enduring partnership that represents an amazing journey of cooperation and mutual support. This connection dates back to December 26, 1991, when the UAE quickly acknowledged Azerbaijan's independence. Over time, it has only gotten stronger.

An important turning point was the 1994 Casablanca summit of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) leaders of state and government. The basis for a strong collaboration was established by the meeting between President Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan of the United Arab Emirates and Heydar Aliyev, the national leader of Azerbaijan.

An example of the dedication to expanding renewable energy efforts is the strategic agreements that Masdar, ACWA Power, and the State Oil Company of Azerbaijan Republic (SOCAR) have signed. With a combined capacity of 4 GW, these integrated offshore wind, green hydrogen, onshore wind, and solar projects support Azerbaijan's ambitious target of having 30% of its electricity come from installed capacity by 2030.

In conclusion, the diplomatic, economic, and environmental links that are fostered between Azerbaijan and the United Arab Emirates are a bright light that contributes to the prosperity of both countries. The trajectory of this enduring friendship promises even more extraordinary accomplishments in the years to come as the collaborative adventure continues.
