The President’s message reads in particular:
“From year to year your country is making confident progress in strengthening its statehood, building a stable society and consistently developing its economic potential. Its authority in the international community is also increasing.
Russia places great value on its traditionally friendly relations with Azerbaijan. I am sure that the understanding and trust between our countries and our intensive political contacts and constructive dialogue will continue to serve the long-term interests of both countries and contribute to regional stability and security”.
