“The key point I have heard is that the Azerbaijani government has developed strategic documents regarding digitalization and the digital economy. For example, state services are provided through digital platforms, allowing people easy access to services through these applications. This is a very important step, meaning that the Azerbaijani people are well-versed in new and digital technologies.
At the same time, Azerbaijan Post – the national postal operator of the country – has a rich historical heritage and a specific business model. However, it does not limit its activities to traditional postal services alone; it strives to develop delivery services by collaborating with international e-commerce platforms.
