From the President of Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovych
Dear Ilham Heydar oglu,
On behalf of the Ukrainian people and on my own I congratulate you on the national holiday - the Republic Day.
Today Azerbaijan is strengthening its statehood, multiplying its authority in the international arena and confidently demonstrating strong performance in all areas of life.
I am pleased to note our collective efforts towards elevating Ukrainian-Azerbaijani relations to a high level. I am convinced that the further development of a constructive dialogue on all key areas of bilateral cooperation will deepen the strategic partnership for the benefit of the peoples of our countries.
I wish you, dear Ilham Heydar oglu, good health and every success in your responsible state activities, and the friendly people of Azerbaijan peace and prosperity.
Sincerely,
Viktor Yanukovych
President of Ukraine
