"Chinese companies are already investing in renewable energy," President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said during an interview with local television channels on January 5.
"The construction of solar and wind power plants is starting, and there is demand for more. The construction of a solar panel factory has begun, and so has the assembly of electric buses. In this case, I must say that this was a strategic decision by the Azerbaijani side because when we decided to develop not only green energy but also green transport, we had to choose a strategic partner, and the choice fell on Chinese companies," the head of state noted.
