A dinner was given on behalf of First Lady Mehriban Aliyeva in honour of the guests participating in the “Fly to Baku” exhibition in Paris, April 11.
First Lady of Azerbaijan Mehriban Aliyeva delivered a speech at the dinner.
Speech by Mrs. Mehriban Aliyeva:
- Dear Mister Minister!
Esteemed Guests!
First of all, I would like to greet all of you this evening and thank you for being here with us.
Mister Minister, I would like to specifically thank you for the pleasant words you said here about my activity and Azerbaijan.
Indeed, holding such an exhibition in Paris, the capital of France, today is a great event in the cultural life of France, as Paris is the capital of not only France, but also of the world culture. This exhibition was first opened in London. Today it is shown in Paris. It will then be shown in capitals of other countries of the world. I would like to deeply thank all who have contributed to the organization of the exhibition. I would like to thank you on behalf of our young and really talented artists. I’m sure this exhibition will more comprehensively promote the rich culture and cultural heritage of our country in France, as the primary objective of our activity is to promote Azerbaijan and its rich culture and history.
Today the exhibition was inaugurated. This exhibition will go on for two weeks in France, and I’m sure it will arouse great interest.
I would like to once more thank you all for your hospitality, your attention, and express my respect and love for your country.
I’d like to take the opportunity to invite all of you to Azerbaijan. Thank you very much.
