His Excellency Mr Ilham Aliyev, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan
Your Excellency,
Please accept my sincerest congratulations on the occasion of the national holiday of Azerbaijan – the Republic Day.
Ukraine highly appreciates the existing strategic partnership between our states, the traditionally strong ties between the peoples of Ukraine and Azerbaijan, as well as the determination to develop the bilateral cooperation in all areas of mutual interest.
Ukraine always supports the territorial integrity and sovereignty of the Republic of Azerbaijan within its internationally recognized borders. I am sure that every Azerbaijani backs your strong leadership towards achieving this goal.
I believe that the relations between Ukraine and Azerbaijan will be further strengthened and enriched with new achievements to the benefit of our peoples.
I hope that as part of the celebration of the 30th anniversary of Ukraine's independence in August 2021, I will have the opportunity to welcome you to Kyiv and continue our dialogue on all issues of bilateral partnership.
Mr President, I wish you success in your high state activities, and the friendly people of Azerbaijan peace and progress.
Sincerely,
Volodymyr Zelenskyy
President of Ukraine
