BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 27. President of the
Republic of Bulgaria Iliana Yotova sent a congratulatory letter to
President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev, Trend reports.


"Esteemed Mr. President,


Please accept my congratulations and best wishes on the occasion
of the National Day of the Republic of Azerbaijan.


I take this solemn occasion to express my most sincere gratitude
for the warm hospitality extended to me and my delegation during
the 13th session of the World Urban Forum (WUF13) in Baku.


Allow me to share with you my strong impressions of the forum,
which was attended by more than ten mayors of Bulgarian
municipalities, as well as representatives of higher educational
institutions in Bulgaria.


I would also like to emphasize my satisfaction with the second
bilateral meeting held with you in three months, which is evidence
of the intensive political dialogue between our countries at the
highest level. I fully share your opinion that the positive
political dynamics in our relations need to be transformed into
practical results, cooperation, and projects that will be
beneficial to both sides.


I believe that the implementation of the agreements reached
during our talks in the field of energy cooperation, to increase
the supplies of Azerbaijani gas to Bulgarian companies, as well as
the discussed potential of the second energy corridor for
transmission of green energy overland between Azerbaijan, Georgia,
Türkiye, and Bulgaria, are necessary investments in today's world,
torn by conflicts and insecurity. The intensification of
partnership relations in the field of industrial zones and
technological parks, as well as the expansion of educational and
cultural ties between our two peoples, are also important priority
areas for Bulgaria.


It would be an honor for me to have you as my guest in Bulgaria,
so that we can jointly inaugurate Shusha Park in the city of Veliko
Tarnovo after its construction, as a vivid symbol of our friendly
relations.


With the hope that I will have the opportunity to welcome you on
Bulgarian soil in the near future, I would like to wish you and
your family good health, as well as further success in your highly
responsible activities," the letter reads.
