Lebanon welcomes the achievements made under the leadership of President Heydar Aliyev, known throughout the Arab world as an outstanding and astute statesman. As a result of the visionary policy of President Heydar Aliyev Azerbaijan occupies a worthy place in the world community, and the signing of agreements with some major worldwide influential companies on the joint operation of fields in the Azerbaijani sector of the Caspian Sea provides a great guarantee for the eternal independence of Azerbaijan and the realization of the economic interests of the states in this region.
