President of Azerbaijan.
"Dear Mr. Prime Minister,
I sincerely congratulate you on your appointment to the position
of the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Northern Ireland.
We attach particular importance to the comprehensive development
of Azerbaijan-United Kingdom relations based on rich and good
traditions. The dynamics of our economic and trade cooperation, the
steady enhancement and enrichment of our proven strategic
partnership with new content in the energy sector are
gratifying.
Companies representing your country are involved in several
major projects in Azerbaijan, operating effectively across both the
oil and non-oil sectors of the country's economy. I would
particularly like to highlight our long-standing and successful
collaboration with bp in both traditional and renewable energy. The
fact that British companies were among the first foreign firms
invited by Azerbaijan following the liberation of our lands from
occupation, and are now actively participating in the ongoing
reconstruction and development efforts underscores the high level
of cooperation between our countries.
I am confident that we will successfully continue our joint
efforts to further strengthen the friendly relations and our
partnership between Azerbaijan and the United Kingdom in line with
the interests of our peoples.
I once again convey my congratulations to you and wish you
success in your future responsible activities," the letter
reads.
