Baku, Azerbaijan, Nov. 1
Trend:
Azerbaijan and Russia have the widest prospects for development of relations in the non-oil sphere, Chief of the Russian Presidential Directorate for Interregional Relations and Cultural Contacts with Foreign Countries Vladimir Chernov told reporters Nov. 1 in Baku.
Chernov is taking part in the 7th Azerbaijani-Russian Interregional Forum.
“The more we get to know each other, the more new areas for the development of relations we find,” said Chernov. “If one looks at the non-oil sector, one should surely note agriculture and high technologies. Azerbaijan has advanced a lot in these areas and is a very interesting and promising partner for Russia.”
He also noted that interregional forums have become a kind of a brand of the relations between Azerbaijan and Russia.
“It's hard to say what results we’ll come up with at the end of this forum, but I’m sure that the forum will bring new ideas and opportunities to the relations between our countries,” said Chernov.
