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

Dear Mr. President,

I have the honor to express my sincere congratulations and best wishes on your birthday.

Over the past years, Chinese-Azerbaijani relations have been developing rapidly and steadily. Mutual political trust is growing stronger every day and cooperation in various fields is successfully and fruitfully advancing. In June this year, during a telephone conversation, we reached important agreements on the development of bilateral relations and the deepening of cooperation in key areas. I attach great importance to the development of Chinese-Azerbaijani relations and am ready to work with you on bringing the bilateral relations of friendship and cooperation to a new level for the benefit of our countries and their peoples.

I wish you the best of health and prosperity.

Xi Jinping

Chairman of the People`s Republic of China
