I express my deep gratitude to you, dear brother, for inviting me to visit Azerbaijan together with the delegation. You also noted our bilateral ties are very strong at all levels. I hope this visit will provide an opportunity to do a follow-up on the results of previous discussions.
I once more note that exchange of information, contacts between our countries are a perfect example. We are thankful to You for your leading this work as well as for your instructions to the government of Azerbaijan to coordinate activities with the Jordan side.
We also do a coordinating work in Jordan. We know we have to do much down the road. We have many things in common. I think we have to use it. The most important thing is that along with ties between our states, regional relations are of great importance as well. In this regard, you and your country are very important for Jordan. As to difficulties you faced, we have always been on your side.
Mr. President, I heard personally from you that you have the same attitude to Jordan. We are confident of ties established between colleagues from both sides. I have the honor to be here in Baku. I hope our relations will be continued at not only level of states but also personal contacts.
Thank you very much".
