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

Excellency,

On behalf of the government and people of Pakistan and on my own behalf, I would like to convey our heartfelt felicitations on the Republic Day of Azerbaijan. The people of Pakistan join in celebrating with their brethren from Azerbaijan this joyous occasion.

The pace of our ever growing cooperation gives me immense satisfaction.

The support that we offer to each other on Jammu and Kashmir dispute and Nagorno-Karabakh is reflection of the strong brotherly sentiment that cements our two nations.

I look forward to working closely with your Excellency to continue to further strengthen our relations to the mutual benefit of the two brotherly people.

I avail myself of this opportunity to express my best wishes for your Excellency’s health and happiness.

Please, accept, Excellency, the assurances of my highest consideration.

Arif Alvi

President of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan
