Dear Mr. President,

On behalf of the people of Azerbaijan and on my own, I would like to congratulate you and through you all the people of your country on the occasion of the national holiday – the Day of the Declaration of the Republic of Latvia.

I am sure that we will continue our efforts aimed at strengthening Azerbaijani-Latvian interstate relations, preserving the traditions of our friendship and cooperation and further expanding our ties.

On this auspicious day I send you my best wishes for good health and every success in your activities, and peace and prosperity for the friendly people of Latvia.

Sincerely,

Ilham Aliyev
President of the Republic of Azerbaijan
