Azerbaijani envoy seeks B2B cooperation

Azerbaijan’s ambassador to Pakistan, Irfan Davudov, urged businesses in both countries to build direct commercial partnerships at an Islamabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ICCI) event on Thursday. He pointed to logistics, telecommunications, oil and gas exploration, construction, agriculture, tourism and healthcare as possible fields for joint work, and said about 4,000 companies currently operate in Azerbaijan.

Davudov called for focused meetings between companies and closer private-sector links to turn political ties into economic activity. ICCI President Mohammad Zikria Akbar Zia said the chamber was prepared to arrange business delegations, introduce entrepreneurs and encourage joint ventures. Other speakers cited prospects in technology, education and tourism, while stressing that regional stability, particularly in Afghanistan, matters for trade routes and connectivity.
