The prime minister, visiting Baku for the first time, expressed his admiration for the city. He noted the striking contrast between ultra-modern buildings and old houses, all surrounded by lush greenery. "You can feel the careful attention given to the city's development," he remarked adding that the first day of the Belarusian delegation’s official visit to Azerbaijan, 5 May, was highly productive.

This is a vivid example of a joint venture created by Belarusian and Azerbaijani partners," he stressed.
The prime minister also pointed out the significant potential of the Ganja Automobile Plant as a base for assembling Belarusian fire trucks, utility vehicles and tractors. "I see great prospects for Belarus-Azerbaijan cooperation in joint production. There are many new directions in which we could work together," he concluded.
