WASHINGTON, U.S., March 11. The U.S. Trade and
Development Agency (USTDA) is planning third mission to Azerbaijan
in April, Carl Kress, USTDA Regional Director, Middle East, North
Africa, Europe and Eurasia, said in an exclusive interview with
Trend.
He made the remarks on the sidelines of the U.S.-Azerbaijan
Trade and Business Conference dedicated to the 30th Anniversary of
the United States-Azerbaijan Chamber of Commerce (USACC) in
Washington D.C.
Kress noted that the USTDA is excited and actively engaging with
Azerbaijan to find ways to support increased commercial ties
between the two countries.
"USTDA staff have already visited Azerbaijan twice in the last
two months and we are actively planning a third USTDA mission to
Azerbaijan in April. The signs are indeed positive for USTDA to
bring to bear its early project planning tools and
partnership-building activities. USTDA’s core objective is to
catalyze the deployment of trusted, world-class American
infrastructure to advance the priorities of both the United States
and our overseas partners. That means generating new opportunities
for U.S. companies to engage in infrastructure projects that are
also a focus for Azerbaijan.
In Azerbaijan, we are seeing especially prominent opportunities
in the energy and digital infrastructure sectors, and we also want
to explore potential projects in expanding transportation
connectivity for critical minerals," noted the USTDA regional
director.
