Esteemed Mrs. President,

On behalf of the Azerbaijani people and on my own behalf, I cordially congratulate you and the people of Switzerland on the national holiday of your country - the foundation of the Swiss Confederacy.
Today, Azerbaijan and Switzerland enjoy comprehensively developing relations. I am sure that our steps towards strengthening friendly ties and deepening cooperation between our countries will further serve for the prosperity of our peoples.
I wish you best regards and the friendly people of Switzerland peace and prosperity.

Ilham Aliyev
President of the Republic of Azerbaijan
