BAKU, Azerbaijan, December 19. President of the
Republic of Bulgaria Rumen Radev has sent a congratulatory letter
to President Ilham Aliyev on the occasion of his birthday, Trend reports.
"Dear Mr. President,
Please accept my warmest congratulations and best wishes on the
occasion of your birthday!
I take this pleasant opportunity to express my conviction that,
as a result of our joint efforts, the strategic partnership and
excellent relations between the Republic of Bulgaria and the
Republic of Azerbaijan will continue to actively develop and deepen
in the future.
I recall with pleasure our meetings over the past few years,
which always took place in a constructive and friendly atmosphere,
during which the strategic relations, the expansion of the fruitful
contacts, and the active political dialogue between our two
countries have been reaffirmed in both bilateral and multilateral
formats.
I hope that your long-delayed visit to Bulgaria, in connection
with the opening of Shusha Park in the city of Veliko Tarnovo, for
which we have made such great efforts with you, will be possible to
take place in 2026, regardless of the current political crisis in
Bulgaria.
Following the 29th session of the Conference of the Parties to
the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP29),
to the successful holding of which your personal commitment and
participation undoubtedly contributed, I remain ready to continue
the dialogue at the highest political and state levels between our
two countries in 2026, including during the Summit, which
Azerbaijan will be organizing for the first time within the
framework of the upcoming 13th session of the World Urban Forum
(WUF13).
Wishing you good health, prosperity, and success in your highly
responsible endeavors, please accept, esteemed Mr. President, the
assurances of my highest consideration," the letter reads.
