"Dear Vladimir Vladimirovich,

Please accept my heartfelt congratulations and best wishes on the occasion of the state holiday - the Day of Russia.

The centuries-old ties of friendship and good-neighbourliness that bind our peoples are a reliable basis for the progressive development of the Azerbaijani-Russian strategic partnership and multifaceted cooperation. The interaction of our countries on a wide range of issues on the bilateral agenda is particularly gratifying.

The signing of the Declaration on Allied Cooperation in February this year consolidated the high level of our interstate relations that have developed over the past 30 years.

I am confident that through joint efforts the relations between the Republic of Azerbaijan and the Russian Federation will continue to steadily strengthen and expand for the benefit of our peoples and countries.

On this significant day, I wish you, dear Vladimir Vladimirovich, good health, happiness and success, and the friendly people of Russia - prosperity and prosperity.

With respect,

Ilham Aliyev

President of the Republic of Azerbaijan

Baku city, June 8, 2022"
