BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 26. President of France
Emmanuel Macron sent a congratulatory letter to President of the
Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev, Trend reports.
''Mr. President, dear Ilham,
On the occasion of the national holiday of the Republic of
Azerbaijan, I wish peace and prosperity to you and the people of
Azerbaijan.
Following our meeting in Copenhagen on October 2 last year and
our recent telephone conversation on May 21 this year, I would like
to reiterate my intention to continue working toward the
normalization of our bilateral relations in order to harness their
full potential, whether through our dialogue on regional matters or
our cooperation in the fields of economy, culture, and
education.
In this regard, I would like to particularly emphasize the
exemplary nature of our cooperation regarding the
French-Azerbaijani University, which celebrates its 10th
anniversary this year.
I hope that, in a spirit of partnership, we will be able to
overcome the recent difficulties hindering the development of our
bilateral relations.
I would also like to take this opportunity to reaffirm France's
full support for the continuation and conclusion of the peace
process between Armenia and Azerbaijan, which will allow for the
opening of a new chapter for the well-being of all peoples in the
region.
Mr. President, please accept the assurances of my highest
consideration,'' the letter reads.
