on regional connectivity, economic ties, and security cooperation,
and look forward to continuing our collaboration in these areas and
beyond.
The United States continues to support an enduring peace between
Azerbaijan and Armenia. We are encouraged by Azerbaijan's efforts
to advance the peace agreement you initialed last August, including
