BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 8. On May 8, 2026, on the
occasion of the birthday of National Leader Heydar Aliyev, with the
support of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation a charity event was
organized by the Embassy of the Republic of Azerbaijan in the
People's Republic of China, Trend reports.
First, a wreath was laid in front of the bust of National Leader
Heydar Aliyev at the Embassy, and his dear memory was honored with
a minute of silence.
Speaking at the ceremony, Ambassador Bunyad Huseynov stated that
National Leader Heydar Aliyev laid the foundation for the
successful foreign policy of independent Azerbaijan, determining
our country's place and priorities in the system of international
relations through flexible maneuvers and tactical moves.
Considering our country's national interests and security, and
preferring a balanced policy with the world's major power centers,
Heydar Aliyev paid an official visit to the People's Republic of
China on March 7-10, 1994, where he held important meetings. On his
initiative, the Embassy of Azerbaijan was established in China.
Today thanks to the pragmatic and far-sighted policy pursued by
President Ilham Aliyev, a worthy successor of the political course
of Heydar Aliyev, Azerbaijan's territorial integrity and
sovereignty has been restored, and our country has become a rapidly
developing country in the region. Relations between the Republic of
Azerbaijan and the People's Republic of China have also risen to
the level of comprehensive strategic partnership. Relations between
the Republic of Azerbaijan and the People's Republic of China have
risen to the level of comprehensive strategic partnership.
Throughout all periods of his activity, National Leader Heydar
Aliyev valued compassion, humanism, and moral values above all
else. It is no coincidence that the Heydar Aliyev Foundation today
bases its activities precisely on the principles of humanism to
which the National Leader was devoted. The initiatives of Mehriban
Aliyeva, the President of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation and First
Lady of Azerbaijan, demonstrate that charity is not only about
providing assistance but also creating hope and instilling
confidence in people. The projects implemented by the Heydar Aliyev
Foundation touch the lives of thousands of people, leading them to
a healthier, more educated, and more secure future. In this regard,
the Heydar Aliyev Foundation's projects aimed at children and
patients are not just support, but also hope given to people and a
new door opened to life. The Heydar Aliyev Foundation's activities
are not limited to national borders. Humanitarian projects
implemented in various countries present Azerbaijan as a carrier of
the values of humanism and solidarity in the world. All these
activities show that the charitable initiatives carried out under
the leadership of Mehriban Aliyeva are not just a collection of
projects, but a mission that serves people and is a global
solidarity model directed towards the future.
Subsequently, the Embassy staff visited the Beijing
Children's Welfare Institution, which provides social
rehabilitation and adaptation services for children with special
needs, supporting their integration into society. The head of the
Beijing Children's Welfare Institution highly appreciated the
attention and care shown by the Heydar Aliyev Foundation to
children with special needs, and stated that "We are grateful
to the Heydar Aliyev Foundation and the people of Azerbaijan for
such a compassionate initiative. Compassion knows no boundaries;
your bringing warmth from Azerbaijan to these children here,
crossing mountains and rivers, creates indescribable feelings. The
kindness shown in the name of such a great personality as Heydar
Aliyev delights the residents of our institution and increases
their sense of self-confidence."
Finally, special boards were presented for the employment of
children receiving treatment at the institution, along with toys
based on artificial intelligence that can tell fairy tales and
dance.
