On behalf of my people and on my own behalf, I sincerely congratulate Your Excellency and all the people of Azerbaijan on the occasion of the Republic Day of native Azerbaijan.

I am very satisfied with our mutual determination to further strengthen our excellent strategic ties in the “one nation, two states” spirit. I firmly believe that our brotherhood and cooperation will make a significant guarantee for ensuring peace, prosperity and stability in our region.

Taking the opportunity, once again I would like to wish Your Excellency the best of health and happiness, along with my best wishes for a happy future and lasting prosperity for the friendly and brotherly people of Azerbaijan".
