Azerbaijan-China Relations: Azerbaijani Culture Emergence in the Context of the People’s Republic of China

Abstract

This paper examines the evolving cultural and diplomatic relations between Azerbaijan and China, with a particular focus on the emergence and growing visibility of Azerbaijani culture within Chinese socio-political and academic contexts. Against the backdrop of a rapidly shifting global order, the study analyzes how Azerbaijan strategically employs a multi-level approach, encompassing state-led diplomacy, educational cooperation, and diaspora entrepreneurship, to enhance its cultural presence and soft power in China. A mixed-methods approach is adopted, combining qualitative content analysis of policy documents, media narratives, and institutional reports with quantitative data derived from two rounds of structured surveys. Special attention is paid to the formal establishment of a strategic partnership between the two countries in 2024, the state visit of President Ilham Aliyev to China in 2025, and the enduring alignment of bilateral cooperation with the principles of the Belt and Road Initiative. Consequently, by integrating cultural diplomacy with pragmatic economic strategies, Azerbaijan seeks to further solidify its cultural presence and strengthen bilateral relations in an increasingly interconnected global landscape.
