Azerbaijan and Israel have discussed the possibility of creating
a joint platform for the two countries' small and medium-sized
business cooperation, Azernews reports.
The discussion took place during the meeting between Orkhan
Mammadov of the Azerbaijani Agency for Small and Medium-sized
Business Development and Israeli Holon city Deputy Mayor Mikhail
Sutovsky.
During the meeting, the parties were briefed on the expansion of
business relations between the two countries and the support
provided to SMBs.
Azerbaijan and Israel have been expanding bilateral cooperation
over years.
The Azerbaijani and Israeli cooperation is founded not only on
economic partnership but also on traditional historical and
cultural roots, as well as mutual respect and trust. Israel was one
of the first countries to recognize Azerbaijan's state independence
and establish diplomatic relations.
Furthermore, during the 44-day Second Karabakh War, Israel was
among the first countries to express support for Azerbaijan's just
position and territorial integrity. Azerbaijan expressed its
willingness to involve Israel in the restoration of the country's
newly liberated territories in January 2021. As a result, Israel
will construct a buffalo farm in Azerbaijan's liberated Zangilan
region.
Azerbaijan established its first Trade and Tourism
Representative Office in Israel last year. In 2021, the two
countries' trade turnover totaled $928.4 million.
