our citizens living abroad, and our country stands out for its
constant support of its communities outside national borders.
Currently, we operate in more than 70 countries and implement over
800 projects annually. These are mainly focused on the educational
and cultural spheres: we organize forums, exhibitions, and musical
events together with representatives of our diaspora. In addition,
we maintain contacts with other diasporas around the world,
exchanging experience and best practices.
In Mexico, our main partner is the Institute of Mexicans Abroad.

of Understanding with this organization. After more than two years
of work, we managed to finalize this agreement on April 17. Another
important highlight was the meeting with the Azerbaijani community
in Mexico. Although it is small in number and resides in different
cities, it actively participates in promoting the culture of our
country. In this regard, we strive to strengthen its organizational
structure; an association called YAXSHI already exists and plays an
important role. In coordination with our embassies, we continue to
promote joint projects,” Fuad Muradov said.
