BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 27. President of Ukraine
Volodymyr Zelenskyy sent a congratulatory letter to President of
the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev, Trend reports.


"Your Excellency,


I cordially congratulate you and the people of Azerbaijan on the
occasion of your country's Independence Day.


Year after year, Azerbaijan has consistently elevated its role
and prestige in regional and international affairs, demonstrating
dynamic development as an essential participant in regional
cooperation across the energy, logistics, and economic sectors.


Ukraine highly values the strategic nature of the relations
between our countries and the steadfast support that Azerbaijan has
extended to our state, as well as to the people of Ukraine, during
this exceptionally challenging period.


I express my special gratitude to you for the humanitarian and
energy assistance provided to Ukraine, your active participation in
the reconstruction of the city of Irpin, and the implementation of
rehabilitation and health programs for Ukrainian children. These
steps are a true manifestation of genuine solidarity and mutual
respect between our nations.


Ukraine invariably supports the sovereignty, independence, and
territorial integrity of states within their internationally
recognized borders. I am confident that adherence to these
fundamental principles will continue to serve as the bedrock of
stability and security in the Black Sea-Caspian region.


I am convinced that there is immense potential for the further
development of cooperation between Ukraine and Azerbaijan in the
energy and logistics sectors, as well as in transport connectivity,
infrastructure, and security. Amid the ongoing transformation of
global energy and supply chain routes, the role and resilience of
our states in ensuring regional interconnectivity will only
continue to grow. I firmly believe that the Ukrainian-Azerbaijani
strategic partnership will strengthen further in the interest of
our nations and peoples".


Honorable Mr. President, I wish you robust health and continued
success in your high state endeavors," the letter reads.
