Baku, Azerbaijan, Feb. 14
By Azad Hasanli – Trend:
Azerbaijan plans to organize five export missions more in 2017 - to Kazakhstan, Russia, the US, China and Qatar, Rufat Mammadov, head of Azerbaijan Export and Investment Promotion Foundation (AZPROMO), said.
He made the remarks at a joint meeting of the Exporters Club and the American Chamber of Commerce in Azerbaijan (AmCham) in Baku Feb. 14.
“Along with these missions, we plan to take part in various international conferences,” he said.
“This year we have already organized export missions to Germany, Afghanistan and Pakistan,” Mammadov said. “I’d like to note that the participants of the last mission have already returned from Pakistan and we are waiting for positive results from this visit.”
Head of AZPROMO added that two missions to China (Hong Kong and Guangzhou) and the UAE (Dubai) each were organized last year.
“Certain agreements were reached within the framework of these missions,” Mammadov said. “So, in January 2017, Azerbaijan sent the first batch of wine to China, and we have reached agreements to supply narsharab (pomegranate sauce) and fruit, especially apples, to Dubai. Maybe we will also be able to reach an agreement on the supply of honey to Dubai.”
