During the meeting, the minister drew attention to the fact that Azeri relations are important for our country, and we would like to further strengthen the cooperation between the two countries. We are working to deepen the economic partnership along the lines of friendship, he added. The head of the ministry also touched on the fact that we are faced with global challenges for which it is difficult to find the right answers, so much more attention is paid to science than before. Great emphasis must be placed on the sharing of knowledge between educational institutions and the exchange of students. The Hungarian University of Agriculture and Life Sciences also plays a prominent role in this process. István Nagy also talks about the fact that 200 Azeri applicants can receive the Stipendium Hungaricum scholarship every year. He explained that agriculture is getting more and more valuable, because food security is a strategic issue. Good answers to the challenges caused by extreme weather must be found together. There are huge opportunities in automation and digitalization that agriculture and the food industry must take advantage of. In addition, our country is also committed to the further development of the aquaculture sector – emphasized the head of the ministry. In the framework of the meeting, the Minister of Agriculture of Azerbaijan invited István Nagy to Karabakh.
