BAKU, Azerbaijan, April 1. Azerbaijan will establish a West Industrial Park as part of broader efforts to strengthen the country’s mining (metal ores) and metallurgy sectors, TurkicWorld reports.
The initiative stems from a decree signed by the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, on measures to ensure the development of the mining (metal ores) and metallurgical industry in the country.
The document notes that the modernization of ore processing facilities in the Dashkasan and Gadabay districts, as well as the commissioning of promising deposits in the liberated territories, has expanded production and export capacities in the mining (metal ores) and metallurgy sectors.
In addition, the creation of the West Industrial Park will enable the expansion of iron ore processing and contribute to deepening the value chain within the metallurgical industry.
The decree also emphasizes the need for additional measures to ensure the efficient use of the existing mineral resource base, strengthen production linkages between extraction and processing stages, coordinate infrastructure and logistics solutions, and expand public-private partnerships.
