As part of an official visit to Israel, a delegation from Azerbaijan led by the country's Minister of Agriculture, Majnun Mammadov, was acquainted with the activities of the National Aquaculture Center and the Sea‑Novation Innovation Center in Eilat.

The delegation first toured Israel's National Aquaculture Center, where they received detailed information about its operations. It was noted that the center was established as part of the Israeli government's strategy to transform the Eilat region into a hub specialised in the production of marine and desert products. It applies and demonstrates advanced biotechnologies, with key goals including the creation of unique marine farms in the Red Sea region and the development of aquaculture research. Using the natural advantages of the Gulf of Eilat, modern methods of seafood production are carried out there.

During the visit, broad discussions were held on opportunities for cooperation between Azerbaijan and Israel in aquaculture and agricultural biotechnology, specialist training, staff exchanges, and joint scientific research projects.
