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

Your Excellency,

I am writing to congratulate you on the occasion of your birthday. In 2015 I had the honor of meeting you at your office when I led the parliamentary delegation from Australia as the Chairman of the Australia Azerbaijan Parliamentary Friendship Group. I extend to you my best wishes and congratulations on your birthday and wish you and your people the very best for a successful 2017 and beyond.

Warm regards,

Luke Simpkins
