Baku to Host Azerbaijan-Czech Business Forum
The Baku Business Center will host the Azerbaijan-Czech Business Forum on January 17. It will take place in the framework of the visit of the Minister of Industry and Trade of the Czech Republic Jan Mládek to Azerbaijan.
The Foundation for Promoting Export and Investments in Azerbaijan (AZPROMO) said the forum will be attended by representatives of the real Czech sector (agriculture and food industry, finance and insurance, engineering, petrochemicals, energy, glass manufacturing, logistics, construction) and legal companies.
