Former Sarhad Chamber president Faiz Mohammad Faizi and other members of the business community gave a number of recommendations for improving trade and economic links between Pakistan and Azerbaijan.

Alizada agreed with some of the recommendations and assured the business community that his country would issue visas to them on a priority basis in a bid to enhance trade and economic ties.
