tert.am․ Ilham Aliyev has congratulated Donald Trump on the occasion of the 250th anniversary of the independence of the United States. This information comes from a statement by the President of Azerbaijan.
«Dear Mr. President,
On behalf of myself and the people of Azerbaijan, I am pleased to extend my heartfelt congratulations and best wishes to you, and through you, to the friendly people of the United States on the historic occasion of the 250th anniversary of the independence of the United States of America.
The United States of America declared its independence two hundred fifty years ago by signing the Declaration of Independence on July 4, a historical document that has become a symbol of the struggle for freedom, unwavering determination, and democracy, thereby promoting the emergence of a new order not only on the continent but also around the world. Since then, the United States has traveled a remarkable path of development and today stands as a strong and influential nation on the global stage in every respect. Thanks to your decisively conducted policies, the United States continues to achieve remarkable successes while strengthening its leadership, international positions, and global influence.
It is encouraging that recently the relations between Azerbaijan and the United States are developing successfully. We highly value the strategic partnership established between our two countries and express our gratitude for the great importance you have consistently placed on strengthening our interstate relations, as well as for your unwavering support in this matter. I am confident that the charter on strategic partnership signed in February, which has elevated our relations to a qualitatively new level, will provide new impetus to the development of our partnership not only in traditional areas such as economy, energy, communication, and security but also in digital transformation, artificial intelligence, and other important fields.
We also express our deep appreciation for your decisive efforts to promote the peace agenda in the South Caucasus and to foster sustainable development in the region. The results of the historic trilateral meeting held at the White House on August 8 last year at your initiative have created a completely new and positive atmosphere in our region. Today, Azerbaijan and Armenia live in peace and are building trade relations. I would also like to specifically mention your country's continued support for the implementation of infrastructure projects that contribute to regional stability and economic development, particularly the «Trump Path to International Peace and Prosperity,» which will ensure an alternative, reliable, and secure connection between Asia and Europe.
Dear Mr. President,
We attach special importance to the further development of mutually beneficial cooperation between Azerbaijan and the United States, which has great potential. I am confident that by fully utilizing this potential and the opportunities opened before us, we will strengthen our interstate relations and deepen our strategic partnership through our joint efforts:
On this significant anniversary, I once again congratulate you and wish you good health, happiness, continued success, and new achievements in fulfilling the duties of your high office, as well as lasting peace and prosperity to the friendly people of the United States».
