The meeting focused on expanding cooperation in agriculture, particularly on modernizing Azerbaijan’s agricultural machinery fleet, enhancing mechanization levels, exploring the establishment of an Italian Agricultural Machinery Center in Azerbaijan, promoting resource-efficient technologies through joint initiatives, and other mutually beneficial issues.
