Dear President Ilham Aliyev, Your Excellency,

It is with great pleasure and respect that I extend my heartfelt congratulations on your re-election as the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan. Having served as the Vice Prime Minister for Strategic Partnerships and Special Relations of Romania, I have had the privilege of witnessing firsthand the strength and depth of the strategic partnership between our nations. Your leadership has been instrumental in fostering this relationship, and I am confident it will continue to flourish in the new era.

Your victory in recent elections it’s a testament of trust and confidence the Azerbaijani people have in your vision and leadership. Under your stewardship, Azerbaijan has achieved remarkable progress in economic development, international relations, improving the welfare of its citizens and regained its territorial integrity and international recognition. These accomplishments not only highlight your commitment to your nation’s prosperity but also contribute significantly to the collaborative spirit shared between Romania and Azerbaijan.

As we look to the future, I am optimistic about the opportunities for further collaboration between our countries under your renewed leadership. The strategic partnership between Romania and Azerbaijan is a cornerstone of our mutual aspirations for stability, prosperity and peace in our regions and very much look forward to continue to work closely with you to advance on our common strategic projects.

Please accept my best wishes for your continued health, happiness, and success in leading Azerbaijan.

With highest regards,
