In a recent statement to journalists at the Azerbaijan-Slovakia business forum in Baku, Yusif Abdullayev, the executive director of Azerbaijan Republic's Export and Investment Promotion Agency (AZPROMO), highlighted the ongoing development of relations between the two nations, Azernews reports.

Abdullayev acknowledged the current modest trade figures between Azerbaijan and Slovakia. He emphasized with over 90 representatives from various companies participating in the forum, Abdullayev emphasized the potential for significant expansion in bilateral cooperation.

"Unfortunately, our trade figures are not high. Only 7 Slovak companies operate in Azerbaijan. After the forum we organized in Baku, our trade relations will develop further. In total, more than 90 company representatives are participating in this forum. This business forum is the visit of the Prime Minister of Slovakia to Azerbaijan. We believe that cooperation in the field of industry, agriculture and IT will develop."

Despite the existing small volume of exports between the two countries, Abdullayev stressed the importance of expanding trade, not only in terms of products but also services. Looking ahead, both Azerbaijan and Slovakia anticipate a mutually beneficial partnership that will drive economic growth and prosperity for both nations.
