BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 6. Azerbaijan and Slovakia are discussing the possibilities of establishing joint ventures in various areas, Boris Kollar said in an exclusive interview with Trend, as he visited Azerbaijan.
"For example, one of such joint ventures can be established here in Azerbaijan. Business representatives are also accompanying me during this visit. Director general of the state enterprise KONSTRUKTA - Defence, manufacturing ammunition and haubitzers is also here with us during this visit. We discussed this idea for the first time when the adviser to Azerbaijan's president visited Bratislava to attend the GLOBSEC Security Conference this year. We were discussing the possibility of creating a joint venture, which could operate here in Azerbaijan. So, this is my objective for the near future," he explained.
Slovakian parliament speaker also talked about the ways of boosting bilateral trade relations.
"It's a mutual cooperation. We take raw materials like oil from Azerbaijan and there are other trade commodities, which can be mutually exchanged. This is the way how the mutual trade is created,” he added.
An intensive political dialogue has been established between Slovakia and Azerbaijan, and high-level contacts are maintained.
In general, efforts are currently aimed at creating a more stable foundation and building a more systematic approach to economic cooperation.
The Slovak Republic is open to cooperation with Azerbaijan in the field of renewable energy sources and is ready to share its experience in this field, including in the implementation of the European policy in the renewable energy sector.
In addition, the Slovak transmission system operator, with the support of the government, is preparing a corridor project for the import of Azerbaijani gas to increase the reliability of supplies in the region of South-Eastern Europe.
