Mogilev expands cooperation with Azerbaijan

According to Viktor Shorikov, in 2006 the trade turnover between Mogilev and Azerbaijan made up $1,5 million. There is a serious potential for trade-economic relations development, the official noted.

Viktor Shorikov also said that there is one of the largest Azerbaijani diasporas in Mogilev which can be engaged in establishing closer relations including the interregional level.

Mayor of Mogilev also expressed a wish to establish twin-town's relations with one of the Azerbaijani towns.

In turn, Ali Nagiyev noted that the Azerbaijani side does not satisfy the foreign trade volumes between the two countries which last year made up $30 million only.

He considers that there are the possibilities to increase the foreign trade turnover significantly. In particular, it concerns the deliveries of agricultural products, cotton, wines and cognacs to Belarus. At the same time, Azerbaijan would like to increase the supplies of the Belarusian agricultural equipment, elevators, woodworking materials and others.

Moreover, the diplomat proposed to establish closer cooperation ties between the plant "Mogilevliftmash" and Azerbaijani companies to set up a joint venture on passenger elevators production.

The Azerbaijani ambassador will visit the republican unitary company Mogilevliftmash, the exhibition of the goods produced in Mogilev "Mogilevtorgservice," get familiar with the sights of the town.
