On the occasion of your country’s National Day, I have the honour to express, on behalf of the Islamic Development Bank Group and on my own behalf, heartfelt congratulations to Your Excellency and to the people of the Republic of Azerbaijan.

I would also like to avail myself of this opportunity to express once again to Your Excellency my sentiments of great pride of your country’s unwavering support for our institution, the IDB Group, in its efforts to support your country’s socio-economic development and to strengthen cooperation with all its member countries.

Please accept, Your Excellency, the assurances of my highest consideration
