To His Excellency Mr. Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, President of the Republic of Kazakhstan

Dear Kassym-Jomart Kemelevich,

I extend my sincerest congratulations to you and your brotherly people on the successful holding of the first elections to the new parliament of the Republic of Kazakhstan – Qurultay.

I express my confidence that this significant event, which marks the beginning of a new historical chapter in Kazakhstan’s socio-political life, will contribute to advancing your country’s comprehensive development, supporting the continuation of your large-scale reforms, and ensuring the successful implementation of the tasks ahead. I wish the Qurultay every success.

Advancing relations with Kazakhstan, with which we are closely bound by common roots, national-spiritual values, and brotherly ties, holds special importance for us. Our active and fruitful political dialogue has provided a strong impetus to further strengthening the Azerbaijan-Kazakhstan strategic partnership and enriching it with new substance.

I am confident that through our joint efforts, the friendly relations and strategic partnership between Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan, built on solid foundations, will continue to expand and deepen along an upward trajectory in line with the interests of our peoples.

Taking this opportunity, I once again extend my heartfelt congratulations to you, wishing you robust health, happiness, and continued success in your high state activities, and to the brotherly people of Kazakhstan everlasting peace, progress, and prosperity.

Sincerely,

Ilham Aliyev
