U.S. President Donald Trump has sent a letter to Baku Energy Week.

Axar.az informs that the Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev announced this while receiving a delegation led by Caleb Orr on June 1.

President Aliyev welcomed the fact that Trump had addressed a letter to the event, noting that Azerbaijan highly values this approach and partnership. He also expressed gratitude to the U.S. president.

Caleb Orr stressed that for over three decades, the United States and the Republic of Azerbaijan have enjoyed a longstanding partnership. Azerbaijan has been a consistent partner in advancing energy security across the region and beyond. Azerbaijan is home to the birthplace of the modern oil industry, and the Contract of the Century, signed over 30 years ago, reshaped the geography of global oil and gas markets for at least a generation.

Under our new Strategic Partnership Charter, signed by Vice President Vance and President Aliyev in February here in Baku, the United States looks forward to continuing its cooperation with Azerbaijan in developing reliable energy sources that can power the world's economies.

Then Orr shared a few words from President Donald J. Trump:

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

Dear Mr. President,

I extend my congratulations to you and the people of Azerbaijan as you host the 31st Baku Energy Week. This achievement is a testament to Azerbaijan's leadership in energy security.

Our countries have a long history of cooperation in the hydrocarbon sector and share a commitment to affordable, abundant energy. The United States has been a tremendous supporter of Azerbaijan's oil and gas industry, and I strongly believe that our foundational partnership on global energy security that will only become more essential in the years ahead.

We charted a path forward when we met at the White House and delivered lasting peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan. As you know, regional energy integration is a key pillar of the historic August 8 Peace Summit. My administration looks forward to productive discussions on this topic in June.

Together, we will advance peace, strengthen prosperity, and establish a more secure future for your region and the world. Once again, congratulations on the success of Baku Energy Week.

Sincerely,

Donald Trump.”
