In November, the government of Azerbaijan is to hold together with the industrial development of the United Nations (UNIDO) an international conference on the development of the industry.
As the Economy and Industry Minister Shahin Mustafayev told the official media, the project will be implemented also due to achievements in the field of agriculture, information and communication technologies, alternative energy, tourism and other emerging priority areas.
