Azerbaijani president hails growing relations with Congo in National Day letter

Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev has sent a letter to his Congolese counterpart Denis Sassou Nguesso, Caliber.Az reports, citing Azertag.

“Dear Mr. President,

On the occasion of the National Day of the Republic of Congo I sincerely congratulate you and, through you, your people on behalf of myself and the people of Azerbaijan, and extend my best wishes.

The current dynamics of Azerbaijan-Congo relations is gratifying. Your visit to Azerbaijan in April has given a new impetus to the friendly and cooperative relations between our countries. Additionally, the recent visit of the COP29 President-Designate to Congo is a clear example of our countries' partnership in combating climate change.

I believe that relations between Azerbaijan and Congo will develop in the spirit of friendship, aligned with the interests of our peoples, with our effective cooperation continued through our joint efforts on multilateral platforms, including the COP29 to be held in Baku.

On this remarkable day, I wish you good health, happiness, success in your endeavors, and continuous peace and prosperity to the people of Congo,” the letter reads.
