Azerbaijan’s machine manufacturing and light industries are relatively backward. Most consumer goods are imported. In recent years, the government has strengthened macroeconomic regulation and control, while focusing on the development of the petroleum industry, while emphasizing the development of various economies, actively introducing foreign capital, promoting the development of small and medium-sized enterprises, and the macroeconomic situation tends to improve.
Azerbaijan, located at the junction of Eurasia, has a stable political situation and relies on energy for its economic development. The Afghan government pays attention to economic restructuring and emphasizes the development of the non-oil and gas economy in the economy. Azerbaijan is an important partner country along the “Belt and Road”. The “Belt and Road Initiative” will promote China-Arab cooperation in transportation facilities, trade, agriculture and tourism, and help China expand its influence and expand strategic security space in Central Asia. Azerbaijan’s market, business environment, backward infrastructure in non-oil and gas fields, and the security situation in the Transcaucasian region and the game of big countries in the region will all become challenges for China-Arab cooperation in the future.
