An open-air art exhibition "Pearls of Azerbaijan's National Heritage" showcases carpets from the collection of the Azerbaijan National Carpet Museum, as well as examples of inlay work and jewelry.

The exhibition also features master classes in carpet weaving, shebeke (stained-glass art), jewelry making, and kelaghayi production.

Azerbaijan's traditional dishes and sweets are presented in the culinary zone.

The event program also includes a grand concert program on August 6, timed to Azerbaijan's National Day, and the final concert featuring masters of Azerbaijani art on August 8.

Landlocked Developing Countries (LLDCs) are locked out: with no direct territorial access to the sea, they struggle with international trade, connectivity, and economic development.

Cut off from the global marketplace and without the means to develop adequate transport and logistics infrastructure, landlocked developing countries face unique and significant challenges in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.

The Third UN Conference on Landlocked Developing Countries opens an opportunity to explore meaningful partnerships to unlock the potential of landlocked developing countries.

Innovative solutions, strategic partnerships, and increased investment can help to address these challenges and unlock the full potential of these nations.

By supporting these countries, we can help to build a more equitable and prosperous future for all.
