Azerbaijani Guests Visiting Chongqing
On October 19, Li Mingquan, Deputy Director-General of Chongqing Municipal Foreign Affairs Office, met with the delegation led by Agil Zeynalov, CEO of 166 Freight and Logistics, a company in Azerbaijan.
Li Mingquan noted that Azerbaijan is an important country along the Belt and Road, a major Caspian Sea country, and a key partner of China in economy, trade, and culture. In his keynote speech at the opening ceremony of the Third Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation on October 18, President Xi Jinping said that “China will speed up high-quality development of the China-Europe Railway Express, participate in the trans-Caspian international transportation corridor, host the China-Europe Railway Express Cooperation Forum, and make joint efforts to build a new logistics corridor across the Eurasian continent linked by direct railway and road transportation”. Guided by General Secretary Xi Jinpings speech, Chongqing, as Chinas only city with all five types of national logistics hubs of river terminal, dry port, airport, producer services, and commerce and trade services, is willing to strengthen cooperation with Azerbaijani partners in the field of transportation and logistics, and to share development opportunities.
Agil Zeynalov noted that Chongqing enjoys vibrant economic and social progress and infinite potential. 166 Cargo, which employs more than 3,000 people worldwide, is committed to cooperating with China in trade and logistics. The company is ready to enhance communication with Chongqing partners to discuss issues such as expanding cooperation in electronics, automobiles, food, minerals, and metal processing to contribute to Azerbaijan-China trade and logistics cooperation.
