Key topics included cooperation in energy and trade, regional connectivity, and economic investment opportunities. The parties exchanged views on potential projects in transport, digitalization, and artificial intelligence, emphasizing the active participation of private sector representatives in these initiatives.
During the meeting, the officials highlighted Azerbaijan's pivotal role in regional energy security and the ongoing efforts to diversify trade routes via the Middle Corridor. The sides also reviewed the favorable business and investment climate in Azerbaijan and explored new avenues for establishing bilateral ties.
