Azerbaijani president sends Independence Day greetings to Czech Republic

Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev has sent a letter to Czech President Petr Pavel, congratulating him on the occasion of Czech Republic's Independence Day, Caliber.Az reports.

The letter reads:

“Dear Mr. President,

On behalf of myself and the people of Azerbaijan, I sincerely congratulate you and all your people on the occasion of the national holiday of the Czech Republic.

I am confident that we will continue our joint efforts to strengthen interstate relations between Azerbaijan and the Czech Republic and to expand our cooperation in areas of mutual interest for the well-being of our peoples.

I convey my best regards to you and wish your people lasting peace and prosperity.”

People across the Czech Republic are marking the 107th anniversary of the founding of independent Czechoslovakia, established on October 28, 1918. Although Czechoslovakia ceased to exist in 1993, when Czechs and Slovaks parted ways, Czechs continue to view October 28 as the day of their national founding.
