Dear Mr. President,
On behalf of the people of Azerbaijan and on my own, I would like to congratulate you and through you all the people of the Republic of Serbia on the national holiday – the Day of Statehood.
I am confident that the development of friendly relations between Azerbaijan and Serbia, the further deepening of our mutually beneficial cooperation both in the bilateral format and within international organizations will continue to serve the interests of our peoples.
I recall with satisfaction your recent visit to Azerbaijan. I believe that our meetings during the visit, the negotiations we conducted and the documents signed, including the Declaration on friendly relations and strategic partnership, will open up new opportunities for the development of bilateral relations.
On this auspicious day I send you my best wishes for good health and every success in your activities, and peace and prosperity for the friendly people of Serbia.
Sincerely,
Ilham Aliyev
President of the Republic of Azerbaijan
