    between Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan. Head of the Azerbaijani state said
    that the two countries are friends and brothers, reminded the
    successful cooperation of the countries in the frame of international

    economic links, increasing volume of goods turnover and expressed his
    confidence that Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan would reach greater
    achievements in economic cooperation.

    cooperation and stated that Azerbaijan stands ready for larger co-op
    in joint projects.
