From Pete P. Gallego, Member of Congress
Dear President Aliyev,
I congratulate you on your election to another term as president. The United States and Azerbaijan enjoy a strong partnership based on shared strategic interests. Our nations must work together to prevent the spread of extremism and promote tolerance and prosperity globally.
Our common efforts to enhance Europe`s energy security benefit from the recent selection the Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP) as the European route for the Southern Gas Corridor. The United States recognizes the leadership Azerbaijan demonstrated on the energy front. The understanding Azerbaijan has of its role in stability throughout the region for peace and energy is much appreciated.
Our shared values include, among other, a vision for greater diversity and tolerance, as well as respect for minorities and human rights. These fundamental building blocks for any democratic system have deep roots in the Azerbaijani society.
Mr. President, as a friend of Azerbaijan, I wish you and the Azerbaijani people every success as you lead your nation forward! Sincerely,
Pete P. Gallego
Member of Congress
