PRIME MINISTER CABINET OF MINISTRIESREPUBLIC OF AZERBAIJANMR. ILHAM ALIYEV
Ahead of the congressional delegation’s visit to Baku, I would like to offer my thoughts to you and your family. Additionally, I want to congratulate you on the appointment to the post of the Prime Minister of Azerbaijan.
Currently, the United States and Azerbaijan enjoy strong bilateral relations, I am very impressed by the intensive development of Azerbaijan. The continuity of stability and democracy in Azerbaijan is an important factor for the deepening of the U.S.-Azerbaijan relations. As you prepare for the upcoming elections, I look forward to working with you, your government, and the Parliament of Azerbaijan to strengthen democratic institutions. The United States and Azerbaijan, as strategic partners, will continue to strengthen our bond by cooperating in key areas - counterterrorism and regional stability, energy, and continue political and economic reform.
I hope that our forthcoming meeting with you will enable us to express our support to the course of the development of cooperation with the United States. I wish you success in your formidable activity.
Sincerely,
