Afghanistan is willing to enter European markets through Azerbaijan, said Siyam Psarlai.

Highlighting that over the past two years, the trade relations between Azerbaijan and Afghanistan have improved, the representative of the Afghan Chamber of Commerce and Industries said that Kabul may use this chance and increase the supply of goods to Europe through the territory of Azerbaijan.

Psarlai further said the Afghan government should improve its trade relations with neighboring and Central Asian countries by implementing clear policies.

Afghanistan and Azerbaijan signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in February 2017 on cooperation in the field of trade.

The Memorandum was signed with the aim of expanding trade and economic relations between the two countries, as well as with the aim of expanding bilateral cooperation between the private sector of the two countries.

Afghanistan imports machineries, fuel and iron from Azerbaijan.

The trade turnover with Afghanistan amounted to $13.37 million in January-July 2017, according to the State Customs Committee of Azerbaijan. The entire amount of trade fell on the export of Azerbaijani products to this country.
