Azerbaijani President: A complete chain of the mining industry—all the way to the final product—must be created

“A complete chain of the mining industry—all the way to the final product—must be created. Indeed, this entails ore extraction and the establishment of several plants,” said President Ilham Aliyev during a meeting dedicated to the State Program on the development of the mining and metallurgical industry, according to AZERTAC.

The head of state added: “Beneficiation, pelletizing, and hot briquetted iron plants must be constructed. Naturally, the transportation of this ore is also important; therefore, concessions should be made on transportation tariffs to ensure economic efficiency. A maximum environmental assessment must be conducted, and all ecological standards must be strictly observed.”
