Ambassador Christopher Berroteran: “We would very much like the Azerbaijani reader to get acquainted with Venezuelan literature”
The Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela to Azerbaijan, Mr. Christopher Alberto Martinez Berroteran, visited the State Translation Centre the other day.

At the same time, he noted the significance of implementing prospective projects in the direction of the organization and development of Azerbaijani-Venezuelan literary relations and exchanges within the framework of close cooperation with the Venezuelan Ministry of Culture and the Venezuelan Translation Centre.
