His Excellency Mr. Ilham Heydar oglu Aliyev, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan
Excellency,
I wish to extend to the people of the Republic of Azerbaijan my warmest congratulations on the occasion of your Republic Day.
In these challenging times, we are once again reminded of each country’s essential contribution to our global wellbeing.
As we work together to overcome the COVID-19 pandemic, we must use the recovery to build more resilient, sustainable and just societies. We must also take bold action to address the climate emergency and advance efforts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.
On this Republic Day, I count on the Republic of Azerbaijan to help strengthen the United Nations and build a better and more peaceful world for all.
Please accept, Excellency, the assurances of my highest consideration.
Antonio Guterres,
Secretary-General of the United Nations
