Dear Mr. President,

Dear friend,

I sincerely congratulate you and through you all the people of your country on the national holiday of Montenegro – the Day of Statehood.

The relations between Azerbaijan and Montenegro are dynamically developing. The ever-strengthening interstate ties and friendship are opening up good opportunities for mutually beneficial cooperation.

I do hope that your recent visit to Azerbaijan, our meetings and the detailed exchange of views we have had will give a further impetus to our efforts to further enhance our cooperation.

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 Montenegro.

Sincerely,

Ilham Aliyev
President of the Republic of Azerbaijan
