Alberta Azerbaijani Culture Center has organized an event on Azerbaijan Culture Day, Azertac reported.

The event was co-organized by the country`s Embassy in Canada and Alberta province Ministry of Culture and Tourism.

Minister Ricardo Miranda, addressing the event, thanked members of the Center for organizing such event.

The celebration displayed Azerbaijan`s national cuisine and featured a magnificent  performance of Azerbaijani artist Tahmina Rafaela.

Canada recognized the independence of the Azerbaijan Republic on December 25, 1991 and diplomatic relations between the two countries were established on August 10, 1992.

Cultural ties between countries have been growing day by day. There have been numerous events in the past several years, including concerts, theatre performances, and a recent film festival held in Montreal based around Azerbaijani life and culture.

Canada and Azerbaijan’s common membership in multilateral institutions, including the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) and the United Nations (UN) and its agencies, facilitates cooperation on issues of mutual concern.
