President Ilham Aliyev: Congratulations.
President Shavkat Mirziyoyev: Congratulations. It's a successful start.
President Ilham Aliyev: It is written here both in Azerbaijani and Uzbek languages. The words are the same.
This factory is another symbol of our unity. I express my gratitude to my brother Shavkat Miromonovich for the fact that our Uzbek friends have helped to establish a wonderful enterprise in Khankendi in a short period of time. Thousands of people will work here and, of course, most of them will be women. This is employment, this is production, this is the development of Karabakh. Our Uzbek brothers are the first here, too. They were the first to help us in building a school in Fuzuli, and they were the first to help us in creating such a large enterprise in the liberated territories.
I would like to once again express my gratitude to Shavkat Miromonovich, all our Uzbek friends, and brothers for such a brotherly attitude and congratulate you on the opening of this enterprise.

The construction of the sewing factory was carried out based on the instructions of the Presidents of the two countries to deepen the economic and investment cooperation between Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan. The total investment cost of the project is 11 million manats. Joint industrial cooperation is in place to supply raw materials to the factory. The enterprise will operate using both local and Uzbek raw materials. 80 percent of the factory’s products will be exported to different countries, making a significant contribution to the growth of non-oil exports in the region. Covering an area of 1.2 hectares, the facility will produce 3-5 million units of various knitted products per year. In total, 800 jobs will be created. 250 people have received professional training at the initial stage of the project and are currently employed. Special attention has been paid to the employment of people returning to the territories liberated from occupation and living in surrounding districts. As a symbol of successful cooperation between the two countries, the sewing factory, a joint venture of Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan, opens new opportunities for the development of light industry in the country and strengthens traditional friendly and economic partnership relations.
