With this festival, Husnan Bey Fananie, the Indonesian ambassador to Azerbaijan, believes that the bilateral ties between Indonesia and Azerbaijan can be strengthened.
“Indonesia has a good relationship with Azerbaijan, and the ICF makes a great interaction between citizens of the two countries,” Husnan was quoted as saying.
He went on to encourage Indonesian entrepreneurs to expand their businesses to Azerbaijan, as he believes they would be very welcome at the Caspian Sea-facing nation.
Several ministries from Indonesia are already scheduled to attend the event and meet their counterparts in Azerbaijan. (anm/mut)
