Dear Ilham Heydar oglu, a series of important meetings, fruitful
negotiations, and key agreements reached with You this year in
Baku, Tashkent, and Bukhara have opened a new chapter in the
history of our multifaceted relations.


In particular, the signing of the Treaty on Eternal Friendship
marked an important practical step toward elevating the strategic
partnership and alliance between our countries to a qualitatively
new level.


I am confident that, through our joint efforts, our mutually
beneficial and long-standing relations will continue to deepen in
line with their considerable potential, for the common welfare of
our historically close and brotherly peoples.
