The governor of Russia's Astrakhan region, Igor Babushkin, has
proposed increasing the frequency of direct flights between Baku
and Astrakhan to five times a week to strengthen economic ties with
Azerbaijan, Azernews reports.
“Our business centers are actively contributing to the increase
in tourist flows. Representatives of Azerbaijan also participate in
all international projects of our region,” Babushkin stated on his
Telegram channel.
During his recent meeting with Azerbaijani President Ilham
Aliyev, Babushkin discussed strategic issues, including the
environmental challenge of the Caspian Sea's declining water
levels. He noted that Astrakhan experts, acting on directives from
Russian President Vladimir Putin, are analyzing the causes of this
issue. A bilateral working group involving Azerbaijani specialists
has also been formed, with its inaugural meeting held in Baku.
“Azerbaijan is our most important partner in the Caspian Sea,”
Babushkin said, expressing gratitude to President Aliyev for
supporting the development of multifaceted cooperation.
Additionally, the meeting reviewed the initial outcomes of a
comprehensive program launched in May to enhance collaboration
between Azerbaijan and the Astrakhan region. Babushkin emphasized
that progress is being made in advancing bilateral projects and
initiatives.
