Ambassador of Azerbaijan to Indonesia Jalal Mirzayev on Tuesday visited RRI Yogyakarta office and was received by RRI Yogyakarta Head Retno Desy Swasri. On the occasion of his visit, Ambassador Mirzayev also conducted an interview at ProSatu RRI Yogyakarta. Ambassador Mirzayev shared his meeting with the Governor of Yogyakarta (DIY) Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono X in Kepatihan some time earlier. Both agreed to hold regular meetings every year.
"I had the opportunity to meet with his Majesty. My impression is quite extraordinary. We had a versatile conversation, how can we promote Azerbaijan in the province of Yogyakarta and vice versa, how can we promote the province of Yogyakarta in Azerbaijan. So we had delivered our position, so we have some points to be elaborated and we had agreed to meet annually to discuss for the benefit of our two countries,” said Ambassador Jalal.
Ambassador Jalal Mirzayev also said that in a meeting with Yogyakarta Governor Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono X there was a desire, especially from the Sultan, to develop a twin city or Sister-city between Yogyakarta and one of the main cities in Azerbaijan.
"Baku is actually a multi-cultural city, we have Azerbaijanists, we have Russians, we have a lot of ethnic groups living in the capital of Azerbaijan, Baku. We have mosques, we have church. Azerbaijan is a multi-cultural society. So we have lived with all ethnic groups, shoulder and shoulder, to develop Azerbaijan. This is also one of the main points then we discussed with His Majesty for the possibility of having Sister-City. We have worked on it and I think we are in the right track so we will succeed in having a sister city, Yogyakarta and one of the main cities in Azerbaijan," Ambassador further said.
According to Ambassador Mirzayev, Azerbaijan also wants to attract tourists from Indonesia to visit Azerbaijan, especially those who travel Umrah from Mecca and Medina in Saudi Arabia, because the distance between Saudi Arabia and Azerbaijan is only 2-3 hour flight.
