From Francois Hollande, President of the French Republic
Dear Mr. President,
I congratulate you on your reelection as President of Azerbaijan and wish you every success in your new mandate.
While remaining committed to the strengthening of relations between our two countries, I wish to advance our cooperation in the fields of politics, economy, culture and education.
At the same time, I welcome the fact that you are focusing on bringing the Azerbaijan and the European Union closer together. This will be the topic of discussion at the upcoming "Eastern Partnership" summit due to be held in Vilnius on 29 November.
Let me also reassure you that France, as a co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group, intends to support a just and peaceful resolution of the long-standing Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
Your Excellency, please accept the assurances of my highest consideration.
Sincerely,
Francois Hollande
President of the French Republic
