The volume of investment initiatives implemented between Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan increased significantly last year, with growth reaching 20–30% across various sectors.

As reported by AzerNEWS, speaking at a roundtable in Baku titled “Uzbekistan–Azerbaijan: The Architecture of Allied Cooperation,” Uzbekistan’s Ambassador to Azerbaijan, Bahrom Ashrafkhanov, highlighted the expanding economic partnership between the two countries.

According to the ambassador, 13 cities in Uzbekistan and Azerbaijan have signed cooperation agreements and established sister-city relations. Meetings of the Intergovernmental Commission, the Business Council, and the Interstate Council are held regularly, he added.
