Baku, October 17, /Xinhua/ — The signing of a protocol on the export of Azerbaijani hazelnuts and almonds to China was an important outcome of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev's visit to China. Akber Aliyev, head of a department at the Azerbaijan Food Safety Agency (AQTA), told Xinhua following the Azerbaijani delegation's working visit to China.
"This year, the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Mr. Ilham Aliyev, visited the People's Republic of China. This visit gave a significant boost to bilateral relations," noted Akber Aliyev. He emphasized that it was through the development of these contacts that the nut export project was implemented, opening up access to one of the world's largest markets for Azerbaijani producers. "The purpose of our agency's delegation's visit was to sign a protocol on the export of Azerbaijani hazelnuts and almonds to China. We have worked closely with our Chinese colleagues and will continue to work to expand the export of other products, such as chicken products, apples, and berries," he said.
According to Akber Aliyev, the signing of the protocol creates a solid foundation for further increasing agricultural supplies and strengthening economic cooperation between Azerbaijan and China.
An AQTA delegation recently visited China, during which they signed a “Protocol on Inspection, Quarantine, and Sanitary Requirements for Hazelnuts and Almonds Exported from Azerbaijan to China” and a “Draft Document on a Cooperation Mechanism for Food Safety in Import and Export” with the General Administration of Customs of the People’s Republic of China.
