Amman, June 25 (Petra) – Lower House Speaker Mazen Qadi met
Azerbaijani Energy Minister Parviz Shahbazov in Baku to discuss
cooperation in oil, gas, and renewable energy.

Talks were held on the sidelines of Qadi’s participation in the 20th
Parliamentary Union Conference of the Organization of Islamic
Cooperation (OIC) member states, according to a House statement.

During the meeting, Qadi and Shahbazov highlighted the “strong”
bilateral relations under leadership of His Majesty King Abdullah II
and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, which provide a “solid”
foundation for expanding cooperation, particularly in the energy
sector.

Qadi said Jordan has an “advanced” legislative and investment
environment for energy projects, adding that regulations governing
investment, conventional energy, and renewable energy have been
“continuously” developed in recent years.

The two sides reviewed a preliminary framework for a memorandum of
understanding (MoU) covering energy production, exports, and supply,
and assessed potential cooperation in oil, gas, and renewable energy.

Shahbazov, in turn, called for signing an energy cooperation
memorandum between the relevant ministries in Jordan and Azerbaijan
and establishing a working group to identify future cooperation
areas.
