BAKU, Azerbaijan, February 10. The US Chamber
of Commerce organizes annual business missions to Azerbaijan,
Senior Vice President, International Member Relations & Senior Vice
President, Middle East & Türkiye, Khush Choksy said in response to
Trend's question at a
briefing in Baku.
“One of the tools we plan to use is annual business missions. We
have committed to conducting them every year. We also hope to
welcome representatives of the Azerbaijani government and private
sector to the U.S. so that they can meet with an even wider
audience, including American companies and our delegation,” he
said.
Choksy stated that the third area is the analysis of various
sectors and opportunities, which will then be presented to American
companies.
"A specific example: we request information on government
tenders from ministries through our colleagues at the U.S. Embassy
and through contacts that we establish between the chamber and
ministries. Then we convey these opportunities to American
companies.
Finally, it is an iterative process. We monitor potential
barriers to investment and look for ways to address them—through
analytical notes or policy proposals that help stimulate
investment. For instance, in the financial sector, we are exploring
how Azerbaijan can integrate with global payment systems, which
facilitates the movement of funds in both directions and helps
small businesses access a wider market. This allows customers from
around the world, including the U.S., to make payments for goods
and services here," he added.
In conclusion, Choksy noted that the Chamber continues to work
in three areas:
-Annual missions and meetings to strengthen cooperation.
- Analytical notes and policy proposals that provide ideas for
improving company participation.
- Dissemination of information about upcoming tenders and
procurements in Azerbaijan among American companies.
