As part of a visit to Ismayilli District, President Ilham Aliyev has attended the opening of a garment factory.

Thanks to the attention and care about the development of private enterprise and the non-oil sector, new production facilities are emerging in the country and jobs are being created. Along with Baku, this is clearly evident in the regions as well.

The Ismayilli garment factory is one of the new plants established thanks to the favorable conditions available for entrepreneurs. It operates equipment that enables high quality production. These measures, in particular, are of great importance for increasing employment. The establishment of new production sites in the regions also contributes to the economic development of the country as a whole. President Ilham Aliyev has identified the development of the non-oil sector as one of the main goals, which has contributed to the achievement of important results in this field. It is noteworthy that, in addition to Baku, the role of the regions in this issue has been growing every year.

In the lobby of the factory’s office building there is a photo stand reflecting the activities of nationwide leader Heydar Aliyev and President Ilham Aliyev, their work on the development of the economy and visits to Ismayilli in different years. A showroom demonstrates the factory’s products. The offices have good conditions for productive work. Factory workers will also use the services of a training room and a canteen.

The President was informed that the enterprise operates cutting-edge equipment manufactured in Japan, China, Russia, Germany and Turkey. The establishment of such an enterprise is a good contribution to improving the employment situation in Ismayilli. The courtyard of the factory has been extensively landscaped and trees planted in it.
The head of state spoke to the factory staff.
