His Excellency Mr Ilham Aliyev, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan

Excellency,

On the auspicious occasion of the Republic Day of Azerbaijan, it gives me immense pleasure to convey warm felicitations to the Government and people of Azerbaijan.

Pakistan highly values its relations with Azerbaijan, which are rooted in our common faith.

The strong cooperation between our two countries in multifaceted areas including political, economic, culture, energy, connectivity and defense is indeed a reflection of the strong bonds between the governments and people of our two countries. I sincerely hope that bilateral relations will continue to strengthen further to the mutual benefit of the two brotherly countries.

Please accept, Excellency, the assurances of my highest consideration.

Mamnoon Hussain

President of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan
