Azerbaijan’s Head of State: 'We want to have more share in the Chinese market'

China is really Azerbaijan's number one partner in imports and number four partner in trade turnover, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said in an interview with China Global Television Network (CGTN) in Beijing, according to SİA.

“Yeah, that's absolutely important what you say, because China is really number one partner in imports and number four partner in trade turnover. We’ve opened six Azerbaijani trade houses in China. We have already started exporting wine to China. We want to have more share in your market.

With respect to the Belt and Road, for us, this initiative is not only a kind of a transit route. We want to build businesses along the route, because our geographical location is advantageous.

We are situated along the East-West and North-South transportation corridors. With respect to connectivity, we have already built all infrastructure: railroads, seaports, highways, eight international airports. We have one of the biggest air cargo companies on global scale. Our target is to build businesses along the route.

Of course, we count on Chinese companies. Just less than a week ago, at a business forum, different companies from both countries signed investment agreements with Azerbaijan worth more than $300 million. I said today to my colleagues that for us it's a good number. But I think it can be bigger,” President Ilham Aliyev said.
