Yusif Abdulalev, Executive Director of the Azerbaijan Export and Investment Promotion Agency (AZPROMO), spoke about the growth of transit traffic between Azerbaijan and China during a conference on the promotion of logistics and trade in Azerbaijan, Trend reports.
Abdullayev stressed that Azerbaijan's location at the crossroads of Europe and Asia is strategically important, especially in the field of transit logistics.
"In 2024, transit traffic between Azerbaijan and China amounted to 178 thousand tons, which is 31 percent more than in the previous year. In particular, transportation by rail increased by 93 percent," he said.
According to him, Azerbaijan and China have strategic relations that differ from those that were 2-3 years ago.
"These relations create opportunities for increasing the level of cooperation and cover almost all areas of interaction between the countries. Trade, economic, cultural and tourist links are included here. We have joint projects with our partners, including events, exhibitions and forums organized in cooperation with various organizations. These events are supported by both states, and they will certainly be continued on our part," he added.
