During the meeting between the leadership of the Port of Baku and the delegation of the Port of Qingdao, led by Deputy General-Manager Xing Dongliang, discussions were held in the field of the expansion of opportunities for mutual cooperation, cooperation in the development of port infrastructure and increasing the volume of cargo transported through Azerbaijan.
