Azerbaijan, Baku, May 15 / Trend /
Austrian President Heinz Fischer named three directions of cooperation with Azerbaijan in the non-energy sphere.
"First of all, I am pleased to note that high-tech is available in Austria in various fields. I mean the sphere of infrastructure, railways, construction, health care and construction of hospitals. We, as a friendly country, want to provide and are providing these technologies to Azerbaijan," President Fischer said at a joint press conference with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev.
President Fischer noted that Azerbaijan is a beautiful country, and added that he sees tourism as the second sector of cooperation with Azerbaijan.
"This is a characteristic feature of Austria. Here tourism is developed at a very high level and is internationally known," he said.
Further, Austria's president noted other spheres in which Azerbaijan and Austria can expand cooperation, among which are tourism and culture.
"Close cooperation has been established between universities. Academies of sciences are very interested in cooperation. This is another sphere. In addition, Austria also operates in the field of preservation of cultural heritage. We know that the Austrian architects are involved in the restoration work on some main objects of cultural heritage in Baku. All these are good examples. If there was time, I would also note other spheres," President Fischer said.
