Baku will host the cultural festival to mark three decades of
the Azerbaijani-Japanese relations, Azernews reports.
The large-scale event will take place at the Baku Seaside
Boulevard on June 24-25.
The True Colors festival gathers around 1,200 artists from over
30 countries.
The festival will bring together talented people with limited
abilities from Azerbaijan and Japan.
The guests of the festival have a chance to enjoy concerts,
dances, and theater performances.
The cultural event is co-organized with the support of the
National Abilympics Federation, the Japanese Embassy to Azerbaijan,
and the Nippon Foundation.
Relations between Azerbaijan and Japan are built on principles
of common interest and mutual understanding.
The diplomatic ties between the two nations were established in
1992.
Since then, the two countries implement a number of projects in
various areas, especially in the economy.
Japanese companies in Azerbaijan work in the oil and gas sectors
as well as in agriculture.
In 2021, Azerbaijan Energy Ministry and Japan's TEPSCO company
signed an agreement on the establishment of the green energy zone
in the newly-liberated lands.
The agreement provides for the effective use of renewable energy
potential such as wind, solar, hydro, geothermal, and bioenergy in
Azerbaijan's liberated territories.
The document considers the establishment of a“green energy”
zone based on modern energy management approaches to supply the
region with energy.
Moreover, Japan and the International Eurasia Press Fund (IEPF)
signed a grant agreement to allocate $88,224 in financial aid to
purchase equipment for demining Azerbaijani lands liberated from
the Armenian occupation.
High-level cultural ties between Azerbaijan and Japan have also
contributed to further strengthening the bilateral relations.
The festival of Japanese Culture held this year brought both
nations even closer. In 2022, the Japanese embassy organized the
festival of Japanese Culture. During the festival, the guests of
the event learned more about the Japanese tea ceremony, origami
(the art of paper folding), and ikebana, the ancient Japanese art
of flower arrangement.
The festival visitors also got acquainted with the art of
Japanese calligraphy and traditional Japanese clothing - kimono,
and yukata.
