Najaf and Sidigov discussed updates on projects and potential projects related to such cooperation.

The two parties signed an agreement on the participation of Uzbekneftegaz in oil and gas projects in Azerbaijan as well as an agreement for cooperation between Socar, Uzbekistan’s Ministry of Mining and Geology and Uzbekneftegaz centred on the participation of Socar in oil and gas projects in Uzbekistan.
