He added that the Central Europe it is also important to be able to buy gas from as many sources as possible.

Azerbaijan’s trade turnover with Hungary has increased by 10.8 percent, during the period of January-November 2020, including an increase in imports by 9.9 percent and export by 56.5 percent, compared to the corresponding period of 2019. It should be noted that the trade turnover between two countries amounted to $34 million, with import amounting to $33.9 million, and export to $934,420.

Noting that the country’s successful social and economic policy ensures the dynamic development of the country in all spheres, Babayev stated that Azerbaijan, which is recognized as a reliable partner in the world, is constantly expanding its successful cooperation with foreign countries.

Likewise, the minister emphasized the positive results of the Joint Declaration on Strategic Partnership between the two countries, underlining the successful activities of Hungarian companies in trade, transport, agriculture and services in Azerbaijan.

Additionally, the results of Azerbaijani-Hungarian economic cooperation were noted, and the parties exchanged views on the activities of the bilateral commission and the tasks it faces.

Iran

Azerbaijan’s southern neighbour Iran has also voiced its readiness to be involved in the restoration of Azerbaijani lands newly-liberated from the Armenian occupation.

Special Assistant to Speaker of the Iranian Parliament on International Affairs Hossein Amir-Abdollahian has said that that Iranian companies have high technical and engineering capabilities and can participate in the restoration of the Nagorno-Karabak region.
