The event brought together nearly 60 diplomatic representative offices accredited in Indonesia, the country`s officials, journalists and public figures.

Azerbaijan`s stand showcased exhibits reflecting the country`s national culture, tangible heritage, art and traditions, and also highlighted the Baku 2015 first European Games. Books and magazines on Azerbaijan`s tourism potential, culture and art were distributed among the event participants.

The wife of the Indonesian Vice-President and the wife of the Deputy Foreign Minister visited the Azerbaijani stand. They were informed about the country`s history and cultural heritage, and were also presented with souvenirs.

Indonesia recognized Azerbaijan’s independence in 1991. Bilateral relations between the two republics were established in 1992. Azerbaijani Embassy in Indonesia was established in 2006, and the Embassy of Indonesia in Azerbaijan was opened in 2010.

The two sides have good economy relations. There are successful relations between State Oil Company of Azerbaijan and Indonesian state-owned oil and natural gas Corporation Pertamina. Crude oil constitutes the biggest part of Indonesia’s import from Azerbaijan. The South Caucasus country emerged as the second biggest supplier of crude oil to Indonesia in 2011 after Saudi Arabia.
