President Ilham Aliyev has sent a congratulatory letter to the Secretary General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, Hissein Brahim Taha.
“Elchi” reports that the letter reads:
“Dear Mr. Secretary General,
I sincerely congratulate you on your election as the Secretary General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and wish you success in your upcoming responsible activities.
Azerbaijan attaches special importance to cooperation with the OIC, and the current level of our relations is gratifying. During the 35 years of our membership in the organization, Azerbaijan has played an initiative and responsible role in the activities of the OIC, contributed to the strengthening of Islamic solidarity, and actively participated in increasing the prestige of the organization on the international stage.
Azerbaijan, in turn, has always felt the consistent support of the OIC. During the nearly 30-year aggression of Armenia against Azerbaijan and in the post-war period, the OIC has demonstrated a resolute position by adopting resolutions and statements that strongly condemned the occupation, supported Azerbaijan’s just cause, sovereignty, and territorial integrity, and welcomed the restoration and construction work in our liberated territories. We highly appreciate all of this.
I express my confidence that the close cooperation existing between Azerbaijan and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation will continue to develop on an upward trajectory. As you know, in 2027, Azerbaijan will host the 16th session of the Islamic Summit Conference, as well as the 13th session of the Islamic Conference of Information Ministers and other events. I hope that we will cooperate closely and effectively with you in this direction.
I believe that your leadership of this prestigious organization will serve to implement the important tasks facing the OIC and strengthen Islamic solidarity.
Once again, I convey my sincere congratulations to you and wish you robust health, happiness, and success in your honorable work for the well-being of the Islamic world.”
