KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian businessmen and companies have been encouraged to take advantage of Azerbaijan's strategic location to enter markets in its Central Asian and Eastern European neighbours.

Irfan Davudov, Azerbaijan's Ambassador to Malaysia, said his nation's cutting-edge transport and communications infrastructure could facilitate Malaysian companies' trade with Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Turkey, Georgia and Iran, for example.
