IPRA extends co-operation in Azerbaijan and the Caucasus


(Comments)

IPRA, the International Public Relations Association, has signed a co-operation agreement with the Azerbaijan Public Relations Specialists Association (APRA). Under the agreement, inter alia, the organisations will exchange materials such as IPRA’s Thought Leadership essays and know-how to help with the development of the PR profession.

“It was enlightening to meet with APRA representatives last month in Baku. These agreements add to our extending network of co-operation with PR groups around the world,” explains IPRA President Bart de Vries. “Under these we hope to provide help where it is needed and to expand IPRA’s Golden World Awards programme to new areas of PR practice.”

Reacting to the agreement, APRA Chairman Ilham Mammadov comments: “This is a wonderful development for Azerbaijan as the first country in the Caucasus region to sign a cooperation agreement with IPRA. We will now help drive entries to the Golden World Awards 2018 from Azerbaijan and the region. By participating in the GWA, professionals in Azerbaijan will gain insight and experience.
