A customs forum will be held in Azerbaijan in December this year, Deputy President of the National Confederation of Entrepreneurial Organizations of Azerbaijan Ziya Hajili said at the Azerbaijani Trade Forum themed "Opportunities, Current Situation, and Challenges for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs)" in Baku today, Trend reports.
"The National Confederation of Entrepreneurial Organizations continues to work closely with customs authorities. The issues raised at the established entrepreneurs' councils are being addressed.
Our organization is actively preparing for the customs forum in December in collaboration with the Azerbaijani Customs Committee. We are confident that the upcoming customs forum will serve as an important platform for dialogue and yield significant results," Hajili pointed out.
According to him, Azerbaijan, as a crucial link in the Middle Corridor, does not limit itself to the role of a transit country.
"Being an active initiator and participant in the diversification of trade routes, our country plays a key role not only in ensuring connections between East and West but also in uniting North and South. Azerbaijan has demonstrated significant political will and made serious investments in the development of transport infrastructure.
High-level work has been carried out to modernize border crossing points and simplify border crossing procedures, allowing the country to confidently secure one of the leading positions among the region's transit routes," added Hajili.
