The agreement aims to promote new joint initiatives and strengthen long-term partnerships across various cultural domains.
During the discussions, both ministers underscored the shared historical and spiritual values uniting Kyrgyzstan and Azerbaijan, which they described as a strong foundation for enhancing cultural and humanitarian dialogue. Minister Mambetaliev also expressed appreciation to the Azerbaijani side for its hospitality during the 2024 Days of Culture of Kyrgyzstan in Azerbaijan, which he said played a vital role in deepening people-to-people ties.
Key topics included ongoing and upcoming projects for cultural exchange, with a mutual commitment to fostering closer collaboration in arts, heritage, and cultural education.
