Addressing the ceremony, SEBA’s Chairman Ruhangiz Heydarova spoke about the importance of events like this.
She noted that SEBA, which is operating since 2004, has implemented several projects in the field of science, health and culture. In 2005, the Korean Film Days was held jointly by the “Friends of Azerbaijani Culture”.
She also underlined that the relations between the two countries are getting stronger with holding the second Korean Film Festival. In comparison with 2005, this year`s festival hosts 10 more Korean films.

Azerbaijan’s Deputy of Culture and Tourism Minister Adalat Valiyev, for his turn, said that the event is another holiday for Azerbaijan.
