SOCAR’s strong global position in oil, gas, and petrochemicals - particularly through assets such as STAR Refinery and Petkim in Türkiye - complements China’s engineering expertise and capital capacity. For Azerbaijan, such cooperation enhances value-added production, supports downstream development, and strengthens its presence in global energy and petrochemical value chains. For China, Azerbaijan offers a politically stable, strategically located partner bridging Europe, Central Asia, and the Middle East.
