"Azerbaijan is one of our most promising trade partners," Czech Ambassador to Azerbaijan Radek Matula said at the opening ceremony. "We have all of the basic prerequisites to further develop our cooperation, which already has a long and established tradition."
He added that an intergovernmental agreement will soon be signed on protecting and promoting mutual investments.
"Thus, the legal framework of our bilateral relations will be equipped with the latest document that is important for business," Matula said.
