Opening of Youth Leadership Program in Azerbaijan was held in the U.S. Embassy to Azerbaijan on Tuesday.
As many as 16 American students and three teachers came to the country as part of the program.
In September, 34 Azerbaijani students and six teachers will visit the United States.
The program aims to conduct among its members cultural exchange and promote leadership skills.
American teachers and students will spend three weeks in Baku and Ganja.
