By Zeyni Jafarov – Trend:

Azerbaijan’s officials have decided to establish an Azerbaijani tourism bureau in Israel, Economy Minister Mikayil Jabbarov said in an interview with Israel Hayom newspaper, Trend reports on Apr.22.

According to Jabbarov, Azerbaijan is interested in renewing the activity of the forum for bilateral economic cooperation that was established in 2019 and quickly had a positive impact.

“The opening of the tourism bureau in Israel would send an important message in this context,” he added.

"Israel remains Azerbaijan's third-largest export destination and it's no secret that the oil and gas fields are taking a central place in bilateral trade,” he noted.

Besides, according to the minister, Azerbaijan is interested to cooperate with Israel in the fields of tourism, agriculture, cybersecurity, education, water resources, and health.

"In the private sector, ties continue to strengthen between the two countries. Likewise, we hope to open a trade office in Israel next year, which will further deepen ties between our countries," he said.

Jabbarov concluded that the Azerbaijani government has been impressed with Israel's unprecedented vaccination campaign, which has earned international recognition and expressed confidence that this process can be replicated in Azerbaijan.
