PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF AZERBAIJANHIS EXCELLENCYMR. ILHAM ALIYEV
I want to congratulate You on the 10th anniversary of the signing of the agreement with consortium of the leading oil companies on joint development of the oil fields in Azerbaijan. It was not accidental that the project was declared as the “Contract of the Century” for Azerbaijan. During 10 years of existence, it has created a solid foundation for economic growth of Your country, and is an important factor of flourishing of the people of Azerbaijan.
Taking this pleasant opportunity, I want to reaffirm the readiness of the Republic of Bulgaria to strengthen and develop the friendly relations between our two countries in the future. I am looking forward to discussing - during my upcoming official visit to Azerbaijan - the prospects of the Bulgaria-Azerbaijan relations, including the possibilities of transportation of the Azerbaijan oil products to the European markets through Bulgaria.
Let me, Mr. President, wish Your country and the friendly people of Azerbaijan every success.
Sincerely,
Georgiy Pyrvanov
President of the Republic of Bulgaria
