"Dear Mr. President, dear friend,
Congratulations to you and to the people of Azerbaijan as you
celebrate Independence Day.
I am grateful for our true friendship and for the ties between
our peoples, which have both grown deeper and stronger over the
years. I very much appreciate your efforts to fight extremism,
which contribute to regional stability and play an important part
in promoting peace and bringing us closer to achieving our shared
goals.
I am particularly grateful for your country's steadfast support
for Israel, and the solidarity you displayed in the aftermath of
Hamas's heinous attack on October 7 as well as your commitment to
standing against mutual regional threats. This attests to the trust
and respect between our governments and peoples, upon which our
true partnership is based.
I look forward to further expanding our bilateral relations and
our cooperation in a wide variety of fields, including AI,
aviation, tourism, and academia, as well as convening another
meeting of the Joint Economic Commission.
I wish you, your family, and the Azerbaijani people many more
years of prosperity and success," the letter reads.
