US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken addressed a congratulatory letter to the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev.

Axar.az reports that the President's Press Service has released information about this.

"I am pleased to congratulate you and the people of Azerbaijan on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the signing of the "Contract of the Century", which helped Azerbaijan become an important energy supplier.

This year, when Azerbaijan will host COP29, the celebration of that date is of particular importance. Azerbaijan's commitment to the global energy transition is based on your country's decades-long history as a reliable partner in the energy sector.

We welcome your efforts to develop renewable energy and green energy export routes that can strengthen Azerbaijan's leading role and transform the region.

The "Deal of the Century" is proof of what we can achieve by working together.

As I mentioned during our phone conversation today, the United States of America is ready to expand our cooperation and work together on various important issues, including the global energy transition and Azerbaijan's energy agenda," the congratulation said.
