Your Excellency Mr. President,
On behalf of the Developing-8 Organization for Economic Cooperation (D-8), and on my behalf, I extend my warmest congratulations to Your Excellency, the Government and the people of the Republic of Azerbaijan, on the occasion of Azerbaijan's Independence Anniversary. No doubt, Azerbaijan, under Your Excellency's able leadership, has made remarkable progress in socio-economic development, thus enhancing its role in both regional and global affairs.
As the newest member of the D-8 family, Azerbaijan brings with it a wealth of experience, dynamism, and a strong commitment to cooperation, among developing nations. We deeply value Azerbaijan's steadfast support for multilateralism and inclusive development. I am confident that Azerbaijan's active engagement in the D-8 will significantly contribute to advancing the D-8, for mutual benefits.
Once again, Your Excellency, I congratulate you on this year's independence anniversary and wish the Republic of Azerbaijan continued peace, progress, unity and stability, in the years ahead.
