To His Excellency Mr. Emmanuel Macron, President of the French Republic
25 April 2022, 18:04
Dear Mr. President,
I congratulate you on the occasion of your reelection as the President of the French Republic.
This year marks the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Azerbaijan and France. The successful cooperation in the fields of economy, energy, including the exploitation of oil and gas fields, culture, education and in a number of other areas of mutual interest are among the primary factors preconditioning our bilateral relations. I believe that through our joint efforts we will continue this cooperation to the benefit of our peoples.
We hope that the French Republic, which is currently holding the presidency of the Council of the European Union, will support the process of normalization of relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan, as well as drafting the peace agreement between the two countries on the basis of the five principles presented by us in order to ensure the lasting peace and stability in the South Caucasus.
I extend my best regards to you, and wish you success in your future activities.
Sincerely,
Ilham Aliyev
President of the Republic of Azerbaijan
