Dear Mr. President,

On my own behalf and on behalf of the people of Azerbaijan, I extend my heartfelt congratulations to you and your people on the occasion of the national holiday of the Republic of Finland – Independence Day.

I believe that we will continue to make joint efforts to develop relations between Azerbaijan and Finland in an atmosphere of friendship in line with the interests of our peoples. I fondly recall your visit to Azerbaijan to participate in COP29 and our meeting during the event.

On this festive occasion, I wish you robust health, success in your endeavors, and everlasting peace and prosperity for your nation.

Sincerely,

Ilham Aliyev

President of the Republic of Azerbaijan
