Ambassador: Azerbaijan can help Argentina access Central Asian markets

Azerbaijan may become an important link for Argentina in expanding its economic presence in Central Asia thanks to its strategic location along the Middle Corridor, Azerbaijani Ambassador to Argentina Ramzi Teymurov said in an interview with the Argentine magazine Diafanís, Report informs.

"Azerbaijan, apart from being a direct trade partner to Argentina, may also play an important role in Argentina's economic outreach to the region of Central Asia. Azerbaijan's strategic position at the center of the Middle Corridor, the trans-Caspian route linking Asia and Europe overland, makes our country a key actor in the regional, and global connectivity projects," he noted.

Teymurov also noted the stable development of trade relations between Azerbaijan and Argentina in recent years. He said that fertilizers are Azerbaijan's main export to the Argentine market.

"Considering Argentina's strong agriculture sector, Azerbaijan's fertilizer exports play a growingly important role in that sector and contribute to the development of economic relations between our countries. I would like to emphasize that, in the spirit of mutually beneficial cooperation, Azerbaijan imports a variety of products from Argentina, mostly agriculture-oriented, and most importantly soybean meal," he added.

"Besides the export-import dynamics that play an important role for our trade relations, Azerbaijan's vast energy resources gained us a huge experience in oil and gas sector. Azerbaijan's recent shift to prioritize green energy, deepens our leading place in the world energy discussions. Argentina, in the context of exploration and development of resources in Vaca Muerta, might learn from Azerbaijan's centuries-old experience of managing oil and gas resources," he said.

"Finally, I should highlight the importance of the 2nd meeting of the Azerbaijan-Argentina Joint Working Group on Trade and Economic Cooperation, which was held on September 4, 2025, in Buenos Aires. This meeting is a vivid example of the cooperation between our nations in the economic sphere. During the meeting, representatives of Azerbaijan's Ministry of Economy, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Digital Development and Transport, Ministry of Science and Education, Food Safety Agency, State Tourism Agency, Agrarian Research Center, as well as the Azerbaijan Export and Investment Promotion Agency (AZPROMO) held discussions with their counterparts to expand cooperation in the relevant sectors and presented proposals.

As a follow-up to the meeting, a Roadmap for Comprehensive Cooperation between the Republic of Azerbaijan and the Argentine Republic, was prepared. This document envisages the steps for the development of cooperation between our countries in various sectors, including in agriculture, education, tourism and more," he added.
