The Ambassador of Japan to Azerbaijan Tsuguo Takahashi at a meeting with the delegation of Caspian Energy International Media Group outlined the priorities of bilateral cooperation in the field of non-oil economy.
According to him, in view of the construction of a plant to assemble Isuzu trucks, other Japanese investors are also eyeing the pace of improvement of the investment climate in Baku and beyond. "Official Tokyo has invested soft loans in the construction of thermal power plants, so the sixth part of the local electricity is produced with the support of the Japanese government," said Takahashi, recalling that his country is totally dependent on imports.
The Ambassador recalled that Japan buys 8% of its oil from Russia, and the rest - in the Middle East, so they are interested in the development of the Caspian oil, and added the wish of the imminent visit of a high-ranking delegation from Tokyo to Baku. --17D-
