"Dear Emomali Sharifovich,
On the occasion of the 35th anniversary of the state
independence of the Republic of Tajikistan, I extend my most
sincere congratulations and best wishes to you and, through you, to
the entire Tajik people, both on my own behalf and on behalf of the
people of Azerbaijan.
Over the past thirty-five years, thanks to your visionary and
resolute leadership, Tajikistan has made remarkable progress in
state-building, internal stability, and socio-economic development,
while steadily raising its authority and standing on the global
stage. The history of Tajikistan's independence and all of its
achievements are inextricably linked to your name.
It is gratifying that the bond of friendship and brotherhood
between Azerbaijan and Tajikistan, rooted in shared religious,
cultural, and historical ties, continues to strengthen and be
enriched with new substance day by day. Active high-level dialogue,
regular contacts, and close cooperation undoubtedly help to further
accelerate and deepen these ties.
I am confident that the strategic partnership between Azerbaijan
and Tajikistan, built on mutual trust and support, will continue
its upward trajectory and grow stronger through our joint
efforts.
Dear Emomali Sharifovich, on this festive day, I wish you robust
health, happiness, and success in your responsible duties, and the
brotherly people of Tajikistan constant peace, well-being, and
prosperity," the letter reads.
