“In geopolitical theory, our region -Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan - is both Mackinder’s Heartland and Spykman’s Rimland. And as these theories remind us: those who control the Heartland and Rimland control the world. Today, oil and gas professionals from across the region gathered in Baku, my homeland and the place where the world’s first oil well was drilled and the first oil distillation unit was built, for the first Caspian and Central Asia Trading and Logistics Forum"

“I had the pleasure of speaking at GLENMAR's Caspian and Central Asia Trading and Logistics Forum last week in Baku alongside various distinguished participants. I presented views on the outlook on global refined product demand, showcasing Wood Mackenzie’s energy transition scenarios as well as sharing some thoughts on trends in the refining space and on President's Trump's tariffs - all follow by healthy debate and audience participation!"

“Thank you very much esteemed Global Energy Markets team for this event and opportunity to discuss existing challenges and potential opportunities! It was great pleasure to share the stage with our honored colleagues from trading and logistics businesses!”
