For his part, Azeri deputy Prime Minister Yaqub Eyyubov said that the two countries' ties serve mutual interests, and mentioned that the development and deepening of economic cooperation consolidates Iran-Azerbaijan relations.

Mr Eyyubov said that the friendship between Azerbaijan and Pakistan was marked by similarities of religion and culture.

The first batch of the military products are for the domestic market, First Deputy Prime Minister Yaqub Eyyubov has said, according to APA Economics.

Ultimately, the investment needed to bring Azerbaijan's defense-industrial base back online is a function of demand, which is increasingly rapidly in domestic and export markets alike.

Eyyubov said Azerbaijan had received less natural gas than expected from the Azeri-Chirag-Guneshli and Shah-Deniz gas fields.

Azeri First Deputy Prime Minister Yaqub Eyyubov said Azerbaijan expected to cover its internal demand for gas on its own.
