The event will feature political figures, academics, and NGO leaders, including a presentation by the Secretary of the International Decolonization Front, established in Baku in 2024.
As part of the conference, a concert titled “Rhythms and Dances of Guadeloupe and Azerbaijan” will be held at the Green Theater in Baku at 7 p.m., celebrating the cultural solidarity between the two nations with performances by the Lakou Veranda Group and Azerbaijani artists.
Organizers say the cultural collaboration underscores resistance to cultural assimilation and affirms Guadeloupe’s identity in its broader fight for self-determination.
