From Antony Blinken, U.S. Secretary of State

His Excellency Mr. Ilham Aliyev, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan

Dear Mr. President,

It is my pleasure to congratulate you and the people of Azerbaijan on the 30th anniversary of the Contract of the Century, which helped elevate Azerbaijan into a major energy supplier.

This year’s commemoration is especially significant as Azerbaijan prepares to host COP29. Azerbaijan’s commitment to the global energy transition is built on your country’s decades-long history as a reliable partner in the energy sector.

We welcome your efforts to deploy renewable energy and develop green energy export routes, which have the potential to transform the region and reinforce Azerbaijan’s pioneering role.

The Contract of the Century is a testament to what we can do when we work together.

As I mentioned on our call today, the United States is prepared to expand our cooperation and stands ready to engage with Azerbaijan on various important issues, including global energy transition and Azerbaijan's pursuit of green energy.

Sincerely,

 

Antony Blinken

U.S. Secretary of State
