Dear Alexander Grigoryevich,

Please accept my sincere congratulations and best wishes on the occasion of the national holiday of the Republic of Belarus – Independence Day.

Having successfully reached its goals and coped with priority tasks, modern Belarus made great strides in terms of strengthening the rule of law and ensuring sustainable socio-economic development.

Azerbaijan and Belarus are bound by traditionally close friendship, cooperation and mutual support. I am confident that through joint efforts we will pave the way for the expansion and strengthening of mutually beneficial Azerbaijan-Belarus cooperation and multi-faceted activity.

Dear Alexander Grigoryevich, on this remarkable day, I wish you robust health, happiness and success, and the brotherly people of Belarus peace and prosperity.

Sincerely,
Ilham Aliyev
President of the Republic of Azerbaijan
