"The implementation of the agreements reached between the countries in the field of culture contribute to the Kazakh-Azerbaijani relations," President of the Republic of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, who is on a state visit in Azerbaijan, said as he delivered a speech at the first meeting of the Azerbaijan-Kazakhstan High-Level Intergovernmental Council with the participation of President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev, APA reports citing the press service of the Presidential Administration of Kazakhstan (Akorda).

According to the Kazakh President, twin-city relations were established between the sacred cities of Turkestan and Şuşa, as well as Uralsk and Mingachevir, and Shymkent and Ganja:

"The perpetuation of the memory and opening of a street after Akhmet Baitursynov in Sumgait and Heydar Aliyev Street in Astana was a landmark event for our countries."

Last year, Azerbaijan successfully held the days of culture of Kazakhstan. Tomorrow, we’re to inaugurate a center of children’s creativity named after Kurmangazy in Fuzuli, said Tokayev.

The Kazakh President believes that the work of the Supreme Interstate Council will give a strong impetus to the cooperation between the two countries and will bring the Kazakhstani-Azerbaijani relations to new heights.
