Rza Aliyev: Azerbaijan’s initiatives turn cultural ties into practical cooperation
Baku, November 3, AZERTAC
“Equally important is turning this initiative into sustained international cooperation. The 7th World Forum on Intercultural Dialogue, held in Baku on October 27–29, 2026, is the latest example,” Rza Aliyev, Secretary-General of the Nizami Ganjavi International Center, said in an interview with AZERTAC.
He noted that Azerbaijan’s significant contribution lay in bringing together the experience of different countries through such gatherings and creating opportunities for joint initiatives.
“Our work at the Nizami Ganjavi International Center also helps expand these opportunities. Through the Global Baku Forum, we bring together political and public figures from different countries in Baku. Such gatherings are essential for maintaining communication among people with differing views and allowing them to hear one another’s arguments directly. Azerbaijan’s historical experience of coexistence and its contemporary international initiatives provide a strong foundation for continuing this work. I believe our country’s role in the future can grow even further in this direction, particularly by turning cultural affinity into practical cooperation,” the Secretary-General emphasized.
The full interview will be published soon.
