Azerbaijan and Russia have discussed synchronizing the infrastructure capabilities of their border crossing points as part of efforts to improve cross-border cargo movement and customs cooperation.
The discussions took place during a meeting in Dagestan between delegations led by head of Russia's Federal Customs Service Valery Pikalyov and chairman of Azerbaijan's State Customs Committee Shahin Baghirov.
The sides exchanged views on measures to accelerate the passage of cargo during peak seasonal periods and prevent congestion that may arise from increased freight vehicle traffic at border checkpoints.
As part of the visit, the delegations inspected the existing infrastructure, technical equipment, cargo processing capacities, and operational activities at the Yaraq-Gazmalar and Tahirkend-Gazmalar customs checkpoints of Russia's North Caucasus Customs Department.
