“Dear Madam President,
On the occasion of the national holiday of the Republic of Bulgaria, I extend my heartfelt congratulations to You and your people.
We are pleased with the current level of traditional friendship and strategic partnership between Azerbaijan and Bulgaria. Our bilateral relations are developing in a spirit of mutual respect and trust, and our cooperation, covering various fields, is expanding day by day and enriching with new content.
Our high-level political ties create a good foundation for our cooperation in economic-trade, transport, humanitarian, and other fields. The active collaboration we demonstrate in the energy sector, which is one of the priority areas of our cooperation, is commendable.
I recall with the most pleasant impressions our recent meeting with You in Munich and the exchange of views we had on the prospects for the development of Azerbaijan-Bulgaria relations.
I believe that by leveraging existing opportunities, we will continue our joint efforts to strengthen our interstate relations and expand our cooperation successfully, both bilaterally and multilaterally.
I wish You robust health, happiness, success in your endeavors, and everlasting prosperity and well-being to the friendly people of Bulgaria.”
