Baku. Rashad Suleymanov - APA-ECONOMICS. Azerbaijan reduced the amount of funding in the 2009 state budget for the maintenance of diplomatic missions abroad to AZN 50.5 million from 52 million, said Deputy Foreign Minister Vagif Sadikhov.

According to him, the 2010 draft budget envisages AZN 51 million for the maintenance of diplomatic missions abroad, he added.
