US imports from Azerbaijan: $1.3B of goods in 25 years
Over the 25 years of Azerbaijan’s independence, the US imported Azerbaijani goods worth $1.3 billion, said the US Ambassador to Azerbaijan Robert Cekuta.
Cekuta made the remarks during the Azerbaijan-US business forum titled “Trade and Investment opportunities in the post-oil era” in Baku Dec. 1.

The diplomat praised the role of the American Chamber of Commerce in Azerbaijan (AmCham) in the development of relations with local business.

Over the 25 years, the US helped Azerbaijan to build a stable, prosperous, democratic country, which it has become, he noted.

Cekuta went on to say that the trade turnover between Azerbaijan and the US was quite modest in 2015, while the capacity is noticeably higher.

He added that Azerbaijan and the US will continue to expand economic ties.
