On behalf of the people of Azerbaijan and on my own behalf, I extend my cordial congratulations and best wishes to you and all the people of your country on the occasion of the national holiday of the Islamic Republic of Iran - Victory of the Islamic Revolution.
The relations between the Republic of Azerbaijan and the Islamic Republic of Iran stem from the will of our nations, who have historically lived in a friendly and good-neighbourly environment and share common moral values. We attach special importance to our interstate relations built on such solid foundations.
Today, it is gratifying that our bilateral relations are developing on an upward trajectory. High-level political dialogue, mutual visits and regular meetings, signed documents give a strong impetus to strengthening our cooperation. The day-by-day growing scope of our cooperation in economic, trade, energy, transport and other fields is a clear example of this.
I remember with satisfaction our meeting with you in Ashgabat in a spirit of mutual understanding. I believe that our exchange of views and discussions will contribute to the further development of our relations and the entry into a qualitatively new stage.
I believe that the Azerbaijani-Iranian relations will continue to develop and strengthen through our joint efforts in the interests of our peoples.
On this remarkable day, I wish you the best of health, success in your activities, and the friendly and brotherly people of Iran everlasting peace and prosperity."
