Annamamedov praised Daewoo E&C’s work, noting, “During my visit to Korea, I was impressed by the petrochemical plants, undersea tunnels, and waste landfills built by Daewoo E&C. We hope Daewoo will engage in areas like resource recycling and landfill gas generation, beyond the petrochemical sector.”
