Азербайджан и Турция нацелены на соглашение о свободной торговле

Еще одна демонстрация единства в своем партнерстве: Турция и Азербайджан объявили о своем намерении укрепить двусторонние торговые отношения путем заключения соглашения о свободной торговле. Министр торговли Турции Рухсар Пеккан заявил об этой цели после встречи в пятницу (11 сентября) со спикером парламента Азербайджана Сахибе Гафаровой в столице Турции, Анкаре.

Пеккан отметил, что объем торговли между двумя странами в 2019 году составил 4,4 миллиарда долларов США, что далеко не отражает его реальный потенциал.

Это последнее из ряда сделанных заявлений подчеркивающих прочные и укрепляющиеся связи между Турцией и Азербайджаном.

В понедельник (7 сентября) в Анкаре состоялась еще одна встреча между высокопоставленными политиками и представителями СМИ, на которой было объявлено о соглашении о создании общей турецко-азербайджанской медиа-сети. По итогам встречи помощник президента Азербайджана Хикмет Гаджиев подтвердил: «Мы стремимся к развитию и укреплению нашего братства. Мы рады укреплению нашего сотрудничества с Турцией», добавив, что соглашение также будет включать создание совместных студии для телевидения и кино.
