“The State Program on the development of the mining and metallurgical industry, which is a very promising area for the country’s economy, will be presented to us today. I signed the relevant Order for the preparation of the program some time ago – at the beginning of April.”
elchi reports that President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said these words at a meeting dedicated to the State Program on the development of the mining and metallurgical industry.
He stated that preparatory work on the program had been underway during these months: “This program will be presented to us and the Azerbaijani public today.
This sector is of great importance for the country’s economy, especially for the development of our country’s non-oil sector, and it is a very promising area. It is true that it is a capital-intensive sector, but at the same time, a new, modern industrial direction will be created in our country. It is planned to create more than five thousand permanent jobs. In general, the processing of our natural resources and their efficient use, as well as the creation of a full production chain, will strengthen the country’s economy.”
