Emin Efendiyev informed the delegation about the “Shebeke” project, which provides postal and telecommunication services in a single space, in particular, the “Pochtap” service, which returns the lost documents to their owners, as well as HUB project which turns Azerbaijan into the regional transit post delivery center. He noted that the favorable geostrategic position of Azerbaijan, the formation of regional and international transport corridors in our republic, as well as the transformation of Baku into a large transport and logistics center has opened up new opportunities for our country in terms of transportation and delivery of international electronic commerce products.

“As a result, Azerbaijani Post acts as a regional transit post center (HUB) for the implementation of interstate electronic commerce. Azerpost LLC processes electronic commerce products by mail and carries out  their transportation and delivery to CIS and other countries. At present, negotiations are under way with other companies operating as express carriers in China, South Korea and Singapore to expand project activities, and it is planned to transport and deliver   electronic commerce products in greater volumes to foreign countries through Azerbaijan in the near future,” he said.

The sides discussed the expansion of cooperation and implementation of joint projects.
