BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 13. Croatia and Azerbaijan are discussing cooperation in the sphere of demining, Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development of the Republic of Croatia Damir Habijan said in an exclusive interview with Trend, as he attended Azerbaijan-Croatia business forum in Baku.
“We have held a business forum and the 3rd Joint Commission between the Government of the Republic of Azerbaijan and the Government of the Republic of Croatia for Promotion of Economic Cooperation. 31 companies from Croatia came with this delegation. We talked about demining process, because, unfortunately, Croatia, has experience in that field due to the war in 1990s. DOK-ING company from Croatia has some kind of connections. And I hope that as a result of this business forum and the joint commission, we will be signing some contracts in the future,” said the minister.
Habijan pointed out that the Croatian side is holding talks with Azerbaijan’s Ministry of Culture on possible cooperation in rebuilding the cultural heritage in Azerbaijan’s liberated lands.
“Croatia, unfortunately, also has experience in this sphere due to the earthquake that hit Zagreb and Sisak four years ago. So, our companies are specialized in rebuilding cultural heritage,” he noted.
The minister went on to add that the sides signed the protocol of the 3rd Joint Commission for Promotion of Economic Cooperation.
“I think that this joint commission was very productive. I hope that it will be the base for future contracts and future business results between Azerbaijan and Croatia,” noted Habijan.
