"We have been working very closely with the United States and Israel for a long time... Our cooperation with the United States and Israel on various technological fronts has supported development in the region and beyond. The trilateral framework holds a lot of substance. At the same time, we believe that advancing it further is in the interest of all three countries. We will keep talking, discussing, and finding opportunities to deepen these ties," stated Khazar Ibrahim, Azerbaijan’s Ambassador to the United States, in an interview with the Washington-based magazine Diplomatic Watch.

"Take the Middle Corridor, for example. It is the shortest, fastest, and most cost-effective route connecting Europe and Asia. This corridor will benefit Israel and Azerbaijan. And of course, the United States—being a global superpower and playing a role in it—would also gain from this project. This reminds me of the large energy projects we launched in the 1990s around oil and gas. The United States championed those efforts... As a result, we built pipelines that brought Azerbaijani -and more broadly, Caspian- oil and gas to European markets, and also to Israel, which today is one of the main consumers of Azerbaijani oil and gas," he added.
