Baku, December 9 (Xinhua) — Azerbaijan is working to create a military-industrial cluster that will strengthen the country's defense system and expand military exports. Prime Minister Ali Asadov announced this Tuesday while addressing a plenary session of the Milli Majlis (parliament).
According to him, strengthening security and enhancing defense potential remain among the main areas of government expenditure. The draft budget for next year allocates approximately 21 percent of all expenditures to defense and national security, amounting to 8.7 billion manat (approximately $5.1 billion).
A. Asadov noted that the national military industry is developing rapidly, and investment in the sector has remained significant for many years. He added that Azerbaijan already exports military products to a number of countries.
"President Ilham Aliyev has set the goal of creating an industrial cluster that will meet domestic demand and increase export potential. Active work is already underway in this direction," the Prime Minister emphasized.
