Baku to host First intl. Caspian Energy Forum
By Sabina Idayatova
Azerbaijan's capital Baku is set to host the First International Caspian Energy Forum in April.
The forum, which is part of the general meetings of the Caspian-European Club (CEIBC), is planned to be held annually.
Reports say the one-day forum consists of two parts. The first part would focus on the development of the oil, gas, energy, and environment sectors while the second one would deal with the non-oil sector (issues of financial development, banking, insurance, leasing, telecommunications, tourism, machine engineering, construction, and other sectors of the non-oil industry). Each part will include both lectures and discussions.
The forum will attract representatives of government agencies, top managers, experts from the countries of the Caspian-Black Sea region, and the EU. They would take advantages of professional opportunities available during coffee breaks, business lunch, and gala reception.
Caspian Energy International Media Group has been operating since 1999. On different estimates, Caspian Energy Journal is among the five leading publications of the Caspian-Black Sea and Baltic regions, and is a landmark for many investors in defining their activity in the Caspian-Black Sea and Baltic regions.
Caspian Energy Journal is published in 50 countries worldwide. The journal publishes interviews of the Presidents and Prime Ministers of the CIS and EU countries and heads of large transnational companies, and also reviews and analytical materials of leading experts.
CEIBC was established in June 2002 with the active participation of Caspian Energy International Media Group, with the support of the largest oil-gas companies working in the Caspian-Black Sea region. Azerbaijan President Ilhm Aliyeve holds the presidency of the CEIBC.
