BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 1. Azerbaijan is in
second place in the Italian market in terms of gas supply and in
first place in terms of oil supply, said President Ilham Aliyev as
he attended the inauguration of the first campus of the
Italy-Azerbaijan University in Baku, Trend reports.

”I am sure that Italy will also be our number one partner in
the field of education. In any case, what we have seen here and the
successes of the university that has already started operating give
reason to say so. Hundreds of students are already studying at the
university. We also met with the management team here today. An
international team of professors works here, both from Italy and
Azerbaijan. There are also foreign students, and this creates a
very nice atmosphere. I am sure that those studying here and
graduates will be ambassadors of Azerbaijani-Italian friendship in
the future. In any case, the future of Azerbaijani students going
to this university will be connected with Italy. They will get to
know Italy, its culture, its development, and successes more
closely. Many goals will be achieved here. First of all, a strong
human resource capacity will be created for the Azerbaijani economy
in the future. The issues of improving our education sector will be
addressed. We will join the most modern and progressive education
system and, at the same time, our friendly relations with Italy,
one of the leading countries of the European Union, will be further
strengthened. Taking into account all these factors, we once again
see that timely and thoughtful steps lead to wonderful results,”
the head of state noted.
