The international exhibition and conference BakuTel played the important role in this, he added.
The diplomat noted plans of Israeli companies for participation in the exhibition BakuTel-2015, where Israel will be represented by a national pavilion.
In addition, he said, the country will support “Israeli-Azerbaijani forum on high technologies.
The forum will be held with the support of the Azerbaijan Communications and High Technologies Ministry and the Azerbaijani-Israeli Chamber of Commerce.
The high-tech industry is one of the most important areas of cooperation between the two countries and the recent inking of an agreement between the states opens up new directions and helps to strengthen the bilateral cooperation in this field.
Israel has recently showed its readiness to share its experience with Azerbaijan in the area of cyber security. The Israeli model in cyberspace security strategy is based on experience combined with a unique concept of development.
