Today, on May 14, a delegation of over 10 top-level executives representing U.S. businesses that operate in Azerbaijan departs to Washington, D.C. for the four-day AmCham Azerbaijan Door-Knock Mission.

Led by AmCham Executive Director, Mrs. Natavan Mammadova, and BP Azerbaijan, Georgia and Turkey Vice President and concurrently as AmCham Board Member, Mr. Bakhtiyar Aslanbayli, the mission has among its delegates senior-management representatives of Chevron Khazar, KPMG Azerbaijan, The Coca-Cola Company, Branch of Nobel Oil Ltd in the Republic of Azerbaijan, FedEx Express Licensee of Federal Express Corporation, Cross Caspian Oil and Gas Logistics, The Boeing Company and John Deere.

The Door-Knock Mission, the 1st in the history of the Chamber, aims to promote investment in Azerbaijan. With this purpose, within four days AmCham delegates will take part in tens of meetings with members of the U.S. Congress, Administration officials, think tanks, and leaders from the U.S. business community. In doing so, the delegation will provide decision makers and interested parties with more in-depth information about the current economic situation in Azerbaijan, existing and emerging business opportunities, and the U.S.-Azerbaijan economic relations.

In addition, the time of the visit coincides with the Third Trans-Caspian Forum to take place at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce where policy and business leaders from the United States and the Trans-Caspian corridor countries will come together to discuss opportunities and challenges in enhancing their strategic engagement and explore business, trade and investment opportunities.

In the following days, we will provide a dive into the mission and highlight its most prominent outcomes.
