Excellency,

I wish to extend my congratulations as you begin your third term as President of Azerbaijan.

I am confident that we will continue building on efforts that will strengthen the ties between our two countries both bilaterally, as well as through regional and multilateral, particularly with the EU. In this regard, I take this opportunity to assure you of Malta`s commitment to support Azerbaijan`s progress under the Eastern Partnership and the European Neighborhood Policy.

Whilst I look forward to stronger cooperation between our two countries, I extend to you Your Excellency the assurances of my highest consideration.

Joseph Muscat

Prime Minister of Malta
