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. One of the key goals of this visit was the signing of a Memorandum 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.
