There are already concrete results in the agricultural sector: "As part of the cotton cluster project, we have planted 2,000 hectares and plan to increase this figure to 6,000 hectares. Several more hectares have been prepared this season, and we are already waiting for the first harvest."
Special attention is also paid to industrial cooperation.
"The traditional cooperation in the field of infrastructure and the automotive industry continues. An assembly plant is currently operating, where 9,000 Chevrolet cars have already been produced. This strengthens the brands Made in Azerbaijan and Made in Uzbekistan," he stressed.
In the field of urban development, he mentioned the prospects of implementing a new project in Baku.
"On June 4-5, the delegation visited the territory of the White City, and we are confident that the project will be implemented in the near future," Abdullayev emphasized.
In conclusion, he underlined the dynamic development of trade relations between the two countries: "We discussed the work of the trade representative office and hope that with its launch our cooperation will receive an additional boost."
