Baku, Azerbaijan, Nov. 21
By Maksim Tsurkov – Trend:
Establishment of a free trade zone in Azerbaijan will give a significant boost to promotion and development of the ‘Made in Azerbaijan’ brand, Taleh Ziyadov, director general of the Baku International Sea Trade Port, told reporters in Baku Nov. 21.
“As it is known, Azerbaijan exports raw materials,” he said. “However, we would like to process and pack raw materials in the free trade zone. Afterwards, the products under the ‘Made in Azerbaijan’ brand will be exported to different countries.”
Ziyadov added that launching the free trade zone will also help develop the urban infrastructure.
Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev signed a decree March 17, 2016, on measures to create a free trade zone type special economic area covering the territory of the Baku International Sea Trade Port in the Alat township of Baku’s Garadagh district.
