If there are still any shortcomings, then they must be promptly eliminated."
Much has been done over the years, the MP noted. "For several years, I headed the intergovernmental trade and economic commission for the development of cooperation between the Republic of Belarus and the Republic of Azerbaijan.

Another step has been taken on the platform of joint work Belarus-Azerbaijan-Türkiye. Today it was noted that it is time to switch to multi-sectoral, multi-stage approaches. Many issues have been resolved in the field of agriculture, mutual trade, energy and defense."
