He said that Azerbaijan is always very friendly and supportive of Pakistan.
He added that there are many sectors in which both countries could have business deals like pharmaceuticals, export of Pakistani mango, basmati rice and tourism.
“There is opportunity to establish Pakistani restaurants and hotels in Azerbaijan for Pakistani business community,” he noted.
The 31st Achievement Award Ceremony to be held in Baku July 4-5 by the RCCI may become a good opportunity to develop business relations between Azerbaijan and Pakistan, he added.
