The aim of the project is to raise the level of education at the Japan Research Centre, one of the main Japanese language schools in Azerbaijan, and to increase interest in the Japanese language.

"Every student represents a value for us. I believe that the Japan Research Center will also contribute to the development of this resource. The relationship between the Azerbaijan University of Languages and our embassy will continue to expand," the Ambassador stressed. Junichi Wada said he would be happy to participate in the Ambassador's Hour project: "I would like to teach students about Japanese history, culture, language and the Japanese way of thinking. This is also part of my job."
