From Frank-Walter Steinmeier, President of the Federal Republic of Germany

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

Mr. President,

On the occasion of May 28 – Independence Day, I extend my sincere congratulations to you and the people of Azerbaijan.

The great value your country places on independence became especially vivid to me and my wife during our recent visit to Azerbaijan, particularly when we paid our respects at the Alley of Martyrs. Allow me to once again personally thank you and your wife for the warm hospitality in Baku. This first visit of a German Head of State to Azerbaijan is a sign of the close ties between our countries.

I am very interested in further expanding our bilateral relations. Located at the crossroads of Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, your country holds a key geostrategic position. In the face of numerous armed conflicts and rising tensions, we are jointly confronted with serious challenges. I therefore highly value your efforts toward establishing peace in the region and wish you swift and lasting success.

I wish you and your fellow citizens peace, stability, and robust health.

Sincerely,

Frank-Walter Steinmeier

President of the Federal Republic of Germany

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

Esteemed Mr. President,

Please accept my heartfelt congratulations and wishes for peace, prosperity, and well-being of the Azerbaijani people and personally to you and your family, on the occasion of the National Day of the Republic of Azerbaijan.

First of all, let me note that the Republic of Bulgaria highly values its excellent relations of friendship and strategic partnership with the Republic of Azerbaijan. The close and fruitful cooperation established between our two countries and the mutual respect between our peoples are a stable foundation on which to further build our bilateral relations.

I am confident that our recent meetings and talks - during my official visit to your capital (May 7-8, 2024) and the 29th session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (November 12-13, 2024 in Baku), contributed to maintaining the intensive bilateral political dialogue that has characterized our bilateral relations in recent years. I believe that we will be able to implement the Shusha Park project in the city of Veliko Tarnovo in the near future, as an important symbol of the friendly relations between our countries and peoples.

Wishing you good health and success in your highly responsible work, please accept, Esteemed Mr. President, the assurances of my highest consideration.

Rumen Radev

President of the Republic of Bulgaria
