Azerbaijan, Cambodia expand trade and investment

Azerbaijan and Cambodia have agreed to establish a joint working group and draft a bilateral framework agreement to expand trade and investment cooperation, President Ilham Aliyev and Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet announced in a joint press briefing in Baku on October 12.
