(MENAFN- Trend News Agency)
BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 4. The President of the
Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev has sent a congratulatory
letter to US President Joseph Biden on the occasion of US
Independence Day, Trend reports.
"Dear Mr. President,
It is on the occasion of the July 4th-Independence Day that on
my behalf and behalf of the people of Azerbaijan, I am delighted to
extend my sincere congratulations to you and, through you, the
friendly people of the United States of America, and offer my best
wishes.
Azerbaijan attaches particular significance to its relations
with the United States. Our nations have closely cooperated in
addressing complex regional challenges and matters such as
combatting terrorism and international security. Our longstanding
and productive collaboration in the energy sector is of special
importance. We highly appreciate the United States' unwavering
support for the realization of Azerbaijan's energy strategy and the
implementation of the Southern Gas Corridor, which plays a critical
role in ensuring Europe's energy security.
I wish to reaffirm our readiness, to make joint efforts with the
U.S. in all areas of mutual interest, particularly on climate
change and the green energy transition, for the benefit of our
peoples. The United States' support for the COP29, to be held in
Baku this November, and the advancement of shared climate goals
during the event, holds substantial significance. We are equally
interested in expanding Azerbaijan-U.S. relations in humanitarian,
cultural and tourism sectors, as well as in promoting
inter-civilizational dialogue.
Azerbaijan advocates for an integrated and inclusive South
Caucasus regional cooperation model based on new geopolitical
realities and justice, free from any divisive lines. As the
initiator of the five principles that constitute the core of the
peace treaty with Armenia, Azerbaijan demonstrates enduring
political will in advancing the peace agenda. We commend the United
States' commitment to supporting the normalization of relations
with Armenia, ensuring lasting peace in the region, and
facilitating the preparation of a peace treaty.
Today, there are promising prospects for diversifying our
economic and trade relations, particularly for developing
engagement in advanced technology, digital and green transition,
agriculture, investments, aviation and other domains.
I believe that in line with the interests of our nations and for
the prosperity of our peoples, as friends and partners, we will
continue our joint efforts to ensure the successful continuation of
close cooperation across various spheres between Azerbaijan and the
United States.
I seize this pleasant opportunity, to wish you robust health and
success and everlasting peace and prosperity to the friendly people
of the United States of America," reads the letter.
