The official visit of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev to Kazakhstan in April this year gave new momentum to media cooperation between the two countries. Kassym-Jomart Tokayev and Ilham Aliyev vowed to step up cooperation in mass communications and mass media content-making, pointing out the constructive role of Kazakhstani and Azerbaijani mass media in maintaining and strengthening of bilateral ties.

Active cooperation between Kazakhstani and Azerbaijani mass media in the exchange of the best practices and content will further strengthen the fraternal relations between the countries based on common cultural and historical heritage and economic interests.

Silk Way TV Channel offers the Azerbaijani audience to dive into off-beat TV shows, documentaries and the best Kazakhstani-produced TV content.

Silk Way TV Channel is the only international TV channel in Kazakhstan offering broadcast in Kazakh, Russian, English, Kyrgyz and Uzbek in more than 118 countries of the world.
