The embassy of Azerbaijan in Beijing has hosted a ceremony to mark the 95th birthday anniversary of national leader Heydar Aliyev.

At the event, which brought together Azerbaijanis who live and study in Beijing, the ambassador Akram Zeynalli told about the eminent statesman Heydar Aliyev`s role in establishing the independent Azerbaijani state.

“The timely return of Heydar Aliyev to power in 1993 shielded Azerbaijan from potential fragmentation. The policy of the national leader continue to be successfully implemented by President Ilham Aliyev. This allowed Azerbaijan to improve its prestige all over world and attract attention as a venue of international events,” said Zeynalli.

The event also featured a film on the life and political activity of the national leader.
