“Your Excellency, my dear brother,

As I pass through the airspace of brotherly Azerbaijan during my visit to South Korea, I convey my most sincere greetings and best wishes to Your Excellency and the people of Azerbaijan, on my own behalf and on behalf of my delegation.

Taking this opportunity, I would like to reaffirm my strong conviction that the allied relations and cooperation between our countries will continue to strengthen and develop in the future.

On the upcoming November 8 – Victory Day, I sincerely congratulate Your Excellency and the brotherly people of Azerbaijan, and wish Azerbaijan lasting peace, prosperity and progress."
