During the meeting, the sides praised the current level of cooperation between the WCO and Azerbaijan, and discussed prospects for cooperation in new areas.

As a result, new realities in the region have created favorable conditions for the development of new transport links. In this regard, the opposite side was informed about the infrastructure projects implemented at the initiative and with the participation of Azerbaijan in the development of East-West, North-South international transport corridors, including the importance of the Zangazur corridor, which is an integral part of these international corridors, as well as attention was drawn to the large-scale reconstruction works carried out in the liberated territories.
