Chinese President Xi Jinping once emphasized the significance of culture in the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. As China continues on its path of modernization, its rich heritage is being revitalized in the new era. To promote cultural exchange, CGTN’s Decision Makers column introduces the series “Bridging the world, boosting cultures,” where ambassadors share insights on China, its civilization, and cultural communication. Bunyad Huseynov, the Ambassador of Azerbaijan to China, kicks off the series by highlighting the strong bond between China and Azerbaijan.
Under President Xi Jinping’s leadership, China has made significant strides in development and international relations. The strategic partnership established between Azerbaijan and China signifies a new chapter in their bilateral relationship, leading to enhanced cultural, economic, and political exchanges.
The deep-rooted cultural connections between Azerbaijan and China, dating back to the ancient Silk Road era, have laid the foundation for strong mutual understanding and friendship. Today, both countries collaborate on various fronts, including education, arts, and tourism, fostering a deeper sense of camaraderie between their peoples.
As Ambassador Huseynov invites Chinese friends to explore Azerbaijan visa-free, he highlights the cultural projects and exchanges that further strengthen the bond between the two nations. Through initiatives like the “Window to Azerbaijani Culture” pavilion in China and collaborative artistic performances, Azerbaijan and China continue to bridge cultural gaps and celebrate their shared heritage.
This vibrant cultural exchange not only enhances diplomatic ties but also nurtures a profound friendship that paves the way for a prosperous future filled with limitless opportunities for both nations. As they mark the 75th anniversary of the People’s Republic of China, Ambassador Huseynov extends his heartfelt congratulations, underscoring the enduring bond between China and Azerbaijan.
