“Our embassy is ready to work on expanding cooperation in the academic component and in the scientific field, because the education received at the Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute is highly appreciated in the Republic of Azerbaijan,” said Seymur Gurban oglu Mardaliyev, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Azerbaijan to Ukraine.

Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute and Azerbaijan already have examples of effective partnership in the scientific and educational spheres, exchange of methods for training qualified specialists, as well as experience in the field of humanitarian demining.
