The high-level international summit has brought together government leaders and culture professionals and experts to address the role of culture for peace, mutual understanding and sustainable development.

The summit addresses challenges ranging from the preservation of cultural heritage to understanding the disruptions likely to be associated with emerging technologies, from bringing arts education to the young to finding new ways to finance the arts, from combatting threats like extremism to developing public policies that promote creativity and social development.

"Culture summit brought together representatives of over 80 countries. The fact that Azerbaijan is also represented at such a large scale event is very important. The summit agenda covers topical issues and the participation in this forum is important from the point of view of establishing new relations," said Mammadov while talking to Trend Life.
