The leaders expressed mutual satisfaction with the high level of Russia-Azerbaijan strategic partnership and alliance and agreed to continue personal contacts.
Vladimir Putin also sent a message of greetings to Ilham Aliyev.
The message reads, in part:
“Under your leadership, friendly Azerbaijan is advancing confidently along the path of socioeconomic development, consolidating its positions on the international stage. It is difficult to overestimate your personal contribution to building and strengthening relations between our states, which amount to strategic partnership and alliance.
I deeply value our positive comradely relations. And, of course, I look forward to continuing our close cooperation on topical issues on the bilateral and international agenda.”
