Baku, Azerbaijan, Feb. 28
By Ali Mustafayev - Trend:
The three-day visit of the Deputy Administrator of the USAID Bureau for Europe and Eurasia Brock Bierman to Azerbaijan ended. The aim of the visit was to discuss the prospects for cooperation between USAID and Azerbaijan.
"Azerbaijan and the United States have been actively cooperating for many years, and during several meetings with representatives of Azerbaijan's state structures we also discussed issues of granting tax benefits," Bierman said at a press conference on the results of his visit to Baku on Feb.28.
According to him, despite the fact that the issue of concessions has not been resolved, USAID and Azerbaijan continue to cooperate, and the parties are currently working on several projects.
"Undoubtedly, we achieved significant results on some projects in Azerbaijan. But, full implementation of all USAID projects in the country is slowing down because of the issues that we have to solve with the state structures," Bierman said.
