Pakistan-Azerbaijan Business Ties
Azerbaijan and Pakistan enjoy amicable fraternal ties. Aside from that, the two are also collaborating as strategic partners. The two have been actively cooperating in various fields including trade and military sectors.
To further deepen trade and business ties, Pakistan’s Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Karachi announced the intent to contribute to the establishment of a Free Economic Zone (FEZ) in Alyat, Azerbaijan in November 2017.
Ever since, Pakistan has been negotiating with Azerbaijan accentuating the significance of the “North-South” transport corridor for the future. This corridor has the potential to connect Azerbaijan, Iran, and the Russian Federation’s railway networks.

It is pertinent to note that Azerbaijan is a major trade partner for Pakistan, an oil-importing nation, because of its enormous energy capacity (oil and gas).
A special working group on the growth of bilateral investment cooperation has been established between the Ministries of Trade of Pakistan and Azerbaijan’s Economy to achieve further growth in trade.
The Pakistani side is thought to have contributed about 4.2 million USD to the economy of Azerbaijan over the past ten years.
