BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 3. President Ilham
Aliyev has sent a congratulatory letter to Frank-Walter Steinmeier,
President of the Federal Republic of Germany.
The text of the letter was published on the official website of
the President of Azerbaijan.
"Dear Mr. President,
On behalf of myself and the people of Azerbaijan, I sincerely
congratulate you and all your people on the occasion of your
country’s national holiday – German Unity Day.
As Germany's most important and reliable partner in the South
Caucasus, Azerbaijan attaches special importance to the
comprehensive development of bilateral interstate relations and
cooperation. The signing of the “Joint Declaration on the Strategic
Agenda for Bilateral Partnership between the Republic of Azerbaijan
and the Federal Republic of Germany” during my visit to Germany in
July of this year laid the foundation for a qualitatively new stage
in our interstate relations - a strategic partnership.
Our active political dialogue contributes to cooperation between
our two countries in economic and trade, energy, transport,
connectivity, investment, humanitarian, and other areas, while also
playing a major role in developing mutual interaction on the
Eurasian continent and driving our productive cooperation in the
energy sector.
I believe that, in line with the interests of our peoples, we
will continue to make joint efforts to further strengthen
Azerbaijan-Germany friendly relations and deepen our collaborative
activities, both bilaterally and within the framework of the
European Union.
On this festive occasion, I wish you robust health, happiness,
and success in your responsible activities, as well as everlasting
peace and prosperity to the friendly people of Germany," the letter
reads.
