"Dear Madam President,


I cordially congratulate you and your people on the occasion of
the national holiday of the Republic of Bulgaria.


We are pleased with the current level of traditionally friendly
relations and the strategic partnership between Azerbaijan and
Bulgaria. Our bilateral relations are developing in a spirit of
mutual respect and trust; cooperation spanning various fields is
expanding day by day and being enriched with new content.


Our high-level political ties create a solid foundation for
cooperation in trade, economic, transport, humanitarian, and other
spheres. The active interaction we demonstrate in the energy sector
– one of the priority areas of our cooperation – is
commendable.


I recall with the fondest impressions our recent meeting in
Munich and the exchange of views we held regarding the prospects
for developing Azerbaijan-Bulgaria relations.


I believe that, by utilizing existing opportunities, we will
continue to successfully pursue joint efforts aimed at
strengthening interstate relations and expanding cooperation on
both a bilateral and multilateral basis.


I wish you robust health, happiness, and success in your
endeavors, and to the friendly people of Bulgaria – continued
well-being and prosperity," the letter reads.
