We aim to develop active cooperation in all areas. As you may know, a business forum was held in the run-up to your visit. The Days of Culture of Tajikistan in Azerbaijan are currently taking place. All this fills our relations with tangible content, Ilham Aliyev, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan said as he held an expanded meeting with Emomali Rahmon, President of the Republic of Tajikistan on May 23, APA reports.
“Several economic documents have been signed. Today, within the framework of discussions between members of our delegations, we will go over this agenda in detail in order to add more content to our relations, because if we familiarize ourselves with the statistical figures of the trade turnover, we can’t be pleased with it as yet. I think that what we have already agreed on and what we will discuss today, both you and I in person and members of delegations at a later stage, will contribute to increasing our trade turnover. And, of course, one of the topics we discussed today is cooperation
in the transport sector, taking into account the new opportunities of the transport and logistical infrastructure of Tajikistan and Azerbaijan. I think it will be useful to join our efforts in this direction and coordinate our steps more closely because the Trans-Caspian transport corridor is becoming increasingly popular in the European and Central Asian regions. Azerbaijan, as a connecting link and a country located at the junction of Europe and Asia, of course, plays an important role in this issue with its transportation infrastructure,” the head of state noted.
