Islamabad: Azerbaijan’s Ambassador to Pakistan, Irfan Davudov, visited the Islamabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ICCI) and urged that the longstanding friendship between the two countries be turned into tangible economic gains. He stressed structured business-to-business meetings, sector-specific engagement, and stronger private-sector links in agriculture, tourism, healthcare, and other areas.
He said about 4,000 companies operate in Azerbaijan and pointed to logistics, telecommunications, oil and gas exploration, and construction as promising sectors. He reaffirmed the embassy’s commitment to facilitating business contacts.
ICCI President Mohammad Zikria Akbar Zia said sustained B2B engagement is essential, offering to facilitate delegations and joint ventures, and noted that regional peace, particularly in Afghanistan, is important for trade routes. Former president Zafar Bakhtawari described Pakistan, Azerbaijan, and Türkiye as brotherly nations and highlighted the Joint Chamber’s role.
