“It is gratifying that Azerbaijan–United States relations have
been developing successfully and along an upward trajectory over
the recent period. We highly value the strategic partnership
established between our two countries and express our gratitude for
the great importance you have consistently attached to
strengthening our interstate relations, as well as for your
steadfast support in this regard. I am confident that the Charter
on Strategic Partnership, signed in February, which has elevated
our relations to a qualitatively new stage, will give fresh impetus
to the development of our partnership not only in such traditional
areas as the economy, energy, connectivity, and security, but also
in digital transformation, artificial intelligence, and other
important areas,” President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said in a
congratulatory letter addressed to President Donald Trump on the
occasion of the 250th anniversary of the independence of the United
States of America.
“We also express our profound appreciation for your determined
efforts to advance the peace agenda in the South Caucasus and
promote sustainable development in the region. The outcomes of the
historic trilateral meeting held at the White House on August 8
last year at your initiative have created an entirely new and
positive atmosphere in our region. Today, Azerbaijan and Armenia
live in peace and are building trade relations. I would also like
to particularly acknowledge your country's continued support for
the implementation of infrastructure projects that contribute to
regional stability and economic development, especially the “Trump
Route for International Peace and Prosperity,” which will provide
an alternative, reliable, and secure connection between Asia and
Europe,” the head of state emphasized.
