Indonesia and Azerbaijan also just started bilateral cooperation in the energy field. The MOU just signed between SOCAR and Pertamina. There are still many opportunities that could be explored in investment, trade, tourism, transit, and transportation, education and culture, and others.

As you know in celebration, there are so many delicious foods that you could taste.  Mostly, special food from Azerbaijan such as tandir bread, red bean salad fisinjan with pomegranate, and also baklava.

But I just only interested in Kebab hahahaha. It such a mainstream culinary if I went abroad to find halal food. The taste is really good. I do enjoy the fruits.

Unfortunately, there is no traditional music this year. Luckily, I enjoyed their traditional dance and music last year.

But, something special this year is I could interview Sanubar Malikzade (21 years old), a student from Azerbaijan who has been studying Indonesian Language in UNY (Yogyakarta State University). She could speak Indonesian well. So, I could interview her in Indonesian easily.

Sanubar has been in Indonesia for 7 months. She is taking a short course for a year only to study Bahasa Indonesia. She also happy to attend the celebration for the first time in Jakarta. She could taste her food from her townhome.
