Azerbaijan wants in on JF-17s

Following his recent trip to the country, Pakistan President Mamnoon Hussain said that a deal regarding the sale of defense products to Azerbaijan was just one of several areas in which both were looking to increase cooperation.

The potential for increased Azerbaijani-Pakistani trade comes as Chinese officials signed a number of documents with the Caucasus nation in December. 

Beijing, Pakistan’s partner in the development in the JF-17 program, is looking to develop a "Silk Way” economic belt stretching along developing countries that encompass the historical trade route.
