Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo’s visit to Azerbaijan to participate in the COP29 climate conference served as an important impetus for strengthening trade and economic ties between the two countries, Stef Goris, founder and chairman of the Belgian-Azerbaijani Chamber of Commerce (Belgazercom), said in an interview with Report.
Goris emphasized that this was the first official visit of the Belgian prime minister to Baku.
“For the Belgian side I think it was extremely important because our Prime Minister attended the COP29. He also met with President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev and it’s the first time that the Belgian Prime Minister ever visited your country. So I think COP29 was from that point of view also extremely important for our country,” Goris said.
He noted that special attention was paid to issues of mutual trade and business development during the leaders’ meeting.
