Azerbaijan was represented by Agshin Aliyev, head of the Azerbaijani Language Department at the Beijing Foreign Studies University and a Ph.D. in philology.

In his presentation, Aliyev highlighted Azerbaijan's strategic geographical position linking East and West and its significant role in fostering cultural and literary exchanges along the ancient Silk Road.
He noted that Chinese motifs have appeared in Azerbaijani literature since the period of oral folk tradition and have been preserved in both classical and modern literary works, reflecting the rich historical and cultural ties between the two peoples.
As part of the conference, a presentation was also held for the book Chinese Modernization and New Mass Art and Literature, prepared by the Institute of Literature of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.
