Baku, Azerbaijan, Oct.6
Trend:
Belarus and Azerbaijan should work harder to build up mutual trade, Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko said as he met with Foreign Minister of Azerbaijan Elmar Mammadyarov on 6 October, BelTA reported.
"We would like Azerbaijan to become a manufacturing hub for many goods which can be sold across the region," the Belarusian leader said.
He said Belarus attaches great attention to developing the production of the most popular Belarusian equipment in Azerbaijan. "It is also important as Azerbaijani companies always support such projects financially."
Lukashenko said Azerbaijan and Belarus have been developing all-round cooperation, adding that the two countries have big cooperation prospects.
Mammadyarov, for his part, said that Azerbaijan shares the views of Belarus on the bilateral relations.
"We also aim to increase the volume of the trade turnover, as from the political point of view, our positions coincide almost on all issues on the international agenda," the minister said.
