State of Israel Isaac Herzog has sent a congratulatory letter to
President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev, Trend reports.
"Your Excellency, my friend,
On behalf of the State of Israel and its citizens, I am
delighted to share my warmest wishes on the occasion of the
Republic of Azerbaijan's Independence Day. May this day of pride
and celebration usher in another year of peace and prosperity for
your nation and its people.
Here in Israel, there is a deep appreciation for our
strategically vital and vibrant ties with Azerbaijan. This extends
beyond politics, including a warm friendship that exists between
our two peoples.
In particular, it has been a special privilege to be able to
call you a friend, and I find great value in our open and honest
dialogue. I sincerely appreciated the opportunity to see you in
Davos at the beginning of the year.
There are many challenges in our shared region, and Azerbaijan
and Israel serve as two anchors of stability in this complex
environment. Moreover, I firmly believe that our strong, bilateral
ties serve as a positive influence on many other actors throughout
Eurasia.
In that vein, I was very pleased to learn of the significant
progress made with our economic cooperation, particularly in the
realm of energy. I hope that our ties will continue to strengthen
in the year to come.
Once again, may the coming year be one of continued success and
progress for the great nation of Azerbaijan and its people," the
letter reads.
