Ambassador Akram Zeynalli outlined his hopes for the new center:

"I believe that the landing of the gallery will further strengthen the bilateral relationship between China and Azerbaijan and become a bridge to connect different countries and civilizations," he said.

The ambassador said that the gallery will be Azerbaijan's first cultural exhibition center in China, and explained what visitors to the center can expect:

"We welcome all Chinese people to come and see our country's traditional cultural heritage like architecture, music, carpet weaving and other exquisite art works. I think it is a good chance for Chinese people to understand Azerbaijani culture," he said.
