To the founder of the “Dunya” school under Khazar University, Mr. Hamlet Isakhanli
Dear Mr. Hamlet Isakhanli!
I would like to inform you that our delegation, which has successfully concluded its official visit to Azerbaijan, has returned to Beijing. During our visit to the “Dunya School” affiliated with Khazar University, you, along with with Deputy Director on Organizational Affairs of Dunya IB school Rashid Jafarov, graciously accompanied our delegation. I extend my heartfelt appreciation to you and your team for the attention and respect shown.
Prior to our meeting, we engaged in in-depth discussions with you. I observed the teaching processes of culture, sports, and other subjects at your educational institution. Subsequently, our conversation covered the principles of education, the curriculum, and the physical and psychological preparation of students, leading to significant agreements. The artistic performances reflecting shared elements of Chinese and Azerbaijani cultures, skilfully presented by the school staff, were particularly pleasing to me and our delegation.
I believe that this visit will significantly contribute to mutual educational exchanges between Baku and Beijing, laying a strong foundation for establishing friendly relations between your school and Beijing schools. Please consider visiting Beijing at a time convenient for you! Wishing you and your team continued good health and greater success in your future endeavours!
Sincerely,
Zhang Jiaming,
Vice Chairman of the Beijing People’s Political Consultative Conference
