HA NOI (VNS)— The Centre for Azerbaijani History and Culture Studies was established in the capital city yesterday.

The centre's director, Ngo Kim Thu, said it would reinforce cultural exchanges between Viet Nam and Azerbaijan.

"The centre's establishment marks an advance in the diplomatic relationship and strengthens mutual understanding between two countries," she said.
