Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan business leaders signed export contracts worth $55 million to supply batteries, sheet steel, and food products during an April 5 trade and economic mission in Baku, APA reports citing The Astana Times.
More than 20 Kazakh companies in food production, metallurgy and metalworking, IT services, chemical, construction, and engineering industries, and over 100 Azerbaijan entrepreneurs attended the event. Business-to-business (B2B) negotiations were held.
According to Kazakh Deputy Minister of Trade and Integration Kairat Torebayev, B2B meetings strengthen trade and economic cooperation between countries.
“Kazakh entrepreneurs are interested in Azerbaijan’s market. However, the potential of our mutual trade is still not used even half. Markets of both countries have mutual demand for cooperation. We can develop the markets of third countries. Moreover, important international transport corridors pass through our territories,” said Torebayev.
Last year, the bilateral trade turnover reached $461.9 million, 39 percent higher than in the same period of the previous year ($332.2 million).
