BAKU, Azerbaijan, December 14. Today,
Azerbaijani-Uzbek relations are dynamically developing in all
spheres, including culture, thanks to the far-sighted policies of
the heads of state, said Deputy Minister of Culture of Azerbaijan
Farid Jafarov at the opening ceremony of the Days of Culture of the
Republic of Uzbekistan in Azerbaijan, Trend reports.
He noted that the Days of Culture held in Uzbekistan and
Azerbaijan are not ordinary events in the field of art.
“This is a vivid manifestation of the shared roots, mutual
respect, and friendship of the two brotherly peoples,” Jafarov
said.
The deputy minister emphasized that under the leadership of the
President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, the country is achieving
significant success in all areas of development.
“Culture is one of the priority and especially important areas
of this process. After all, we are peoples originating from the
same roots and sharing a common historical and cultural heritage,
values, and traditions,” he said.
Farid Jafarov also noted that it is no coincidence that Days of
Culture are once again being held this year in Azerbaijan and
Uzbekistan on a reciprocal basis. According to him, cultural and
art figures from the two countries regularly participate in
international festivals hosted in each other’s countries.
