President of the United States of America Joe Biden has sent a congratulatory letter to President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev.
Axar.az reports that the congratulatory letter states:
"On behalf of the American people, I congratulate you and the people of Azerbaijan on Independence Day.
This year marks the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the United States and the Republic of Azerbaijan. Over the past 30 years, our cooperation in the field of energy diversification and international security has borne fruit at an important moment in history, and Azerbaijan has played an important role in ensuring and stabilizing the security of European and world markets. Azerbaijan's support for Ukraine's sovereignty, as well as its humanitarian and energy assistance to Ukraine, are important messages. We also appreciate your significant contribution to the global fight against terrorism.
Now is the time to hope for an important opportunity to achieve lasting peace in the South Caucasus. The United States stands ready to help intensify diplomatic contacts between Azerbaijan and Armenia and build Azerbaijan's economic, transportation, and interpersonal ties, which will allow the entire Caucasus and Trans-Caspian region to flourish. We call on Azerbaijan to take purposeful steps towards democratic governance and reforms that protect the rights and fundamental freedoms of all Azerbaijanis.
In this period of global instability, in which Russia is trying to undermine the main pillars of international security with the war against Ukraine, the United States reaffirms its support for Azerbaijan's independence and sovereignty. We look forward to expanding our relationship in the years and decades to come.
I express my best wishes to the people of Azerbaijan on Independence Day."
