During the meeting, both sides discussed ways to further expand bilateral economic and trade cooperation. In particular, they emphasized the significance of producing Belarusian automotive equipment at the Ganja Automobile Plant and establishing service centers for this equipment in various regions of Azerbaijan. They also explored prospects for joint production in elevator systems, household appliances, and the agricultural sector—including livestock farming, dairy production, meat processing, and poultry farming—as well as the implementation of experience exchange in these areas. Relevant instructions were assigned to the Intergovernmental Commission.
The participation of Belarusian companies in the reconstruction of Azerbaijan’s liberated territories was noted with satisfaction. Prime Minister Turchin mentioned that he would visit these areas to observe the progress firsthand.
The importance of sharing experiences in urban planning was also underlined.
