His Excellency Mr Ilham Aliyev, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan

Excellency,

It is with great pleasure that I extend warm greetings to Your Excellency and the people of the Republic of Azerbaijan on the occasion of the 25th Anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the Republic of Azerbaijan and the Republic of India on February 28, 2017.

I am glad that in these 25 years, our cordial bilateral relations have progressed well. Our expanding relations in all fields and our cooperation including political, economic, energy, cultural as well as our people-to-people exchanges have been mutually beneficial and contributed significantly to the peace, stability and prosperity of our respective regions.

It is my sincere belief that as we look to the future with hope, India’s diverse ties with Azerbaijan will effectively build upon the achievements of these years and attain newer heights.

Excellency, I wish to convey my best wishes for your good health and well-being, as also for the continued progress and prosperity of the people of the Republic of Azerbaijan.

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