Azerbaijan to set up trade centre in Lahore

Azerbaijan is set to establish a trade centre in Lahore to strengthen ties between the business communities of both countries and create new opportunities for mutual cooperation. This was announced by Azerbaijan’s Ambassador Khazar Farhadov during his speech at the Lahore Chamber of Commerce and Industry on Monday. “We are going to establish Azerbaijan Trade Centre in Lahore and Pakistan-Azerbaijan Chamber of Commerce to bring the business communities of both countries closer and open new avenues for mutual cooperation,” he said. The ambassador highlighted the duty-free access granted to Pakistani rice by Azerbaijan until 2027, encouraging traders to capitalise on this opportunity, especially considering Punjab’s reputation for producing high-quality Basmati rice.
