Your Excellency,

Please accept my most sincere congratulations and good wishes on the occasion of your re-election as President of the Republic of Azerbaijan.

I use this pleasant opportunity to renew the invitation extended to you for paying an official visit to the Republic of Bulgaria. We consider the Republic of Azerbaijan our priority partner, and I am convinced that your visit to Bulgaria will give a new impetus to the development and deepening of the traditional close and friendly relations between our states, for the benefit of Bulgarian and Azerbaijani peoples.

The comprehensive strengthening of the ties between Sofia and Baku, in accordance with the signed Joint Declaration on Strategic Partnership between the Republic of Bulgaria and the Republic of Azerbaijan, will enable the realization of our states’ interests in the field of energy security and transport connectivity, and will further contribute to consolidating the regional peace and stability.

Wishing you good health and success in your highly responsible endeavors, for the progress and development of the Republic of Azerbaijan.

Please accept, dear Mr President, the assurances of my highest consideration.
