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

Dear Mr President,

On the occasion of the Republic of Azerbaijan’s National Day, it is a pleasure to extend, on behalf of the citizens of the Republic of Croatia and my own, most cordial congratulations and best wishes for the prosperity of your state and its citizens.

The Republic of Croatia and the Republic of Azerbaijan have in recent years developed very good relations, and our friendly and partnership relationship gives added impetus to the intensification of a comprehensive dialogue and cooperation, of bilateral and global importance. I firmly believe that our friendly ties and cooperation that have progressed in many sectors will continue to strengthen in the interest of advancing mutual understanding and friendship between our two peoples.

I look forward to our meeting this September on the occasion of your planned visit to the Republic of Croatia and I am confident that it will give added impetus to our friendship and further development of overall Croatian-Azerbaijani relations.

Please accept, Mr President, the assurances of my highest consideration.

Cordially,

Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic

President of the Republic of Croatia
