Baku, Azerbaijan, June 6
By Azad Hasanli - Trend:
"The French Agency for Development has already affected 112.5 M euros for transport. But it could spend the same amount and even more for agriculture support in the framework of the program "rural development and agro industry support" if projects in this field justify it " said Aurelia Bouchez, France's ambassador to Azerbaijan.
This is the largest amount of funds allocated by the AFD in the South Caucasus, she said at the 3rd Donors' Coordination Meeting in Baku June 6.
Bouchez also noted that an AFD mission will visit Baku in autumn to discuss the cooperation in the sector of agriculture.
Currently, Azerbaijan and France are cooperating in the livestock breeding, artificial insemination, viticulture and others, she added.
Bouchez also said France is sharing its experience with Azerbaijan in agriculture, especially for modernizing the veterinary and epidemiological service.
