President: Azerbaijan-Israel ties based on traditions of close friendship and mutual respect

The Azerbaijan-Israel ties are based on traditions of close friendship and mutual respect that have historically existed between the two peoples, President Ilham Aliyev said in a letter to the President of the State of Israel Isaac Herzog.

"The Azerbaijan-Israel ties are based on traditions of close friendship and mutual respect that have historically existed between our peoples. I note with pleasure that in the past 30 years, our cooperation has developed exponentially in the political, economic, military-technical, healthcare, cultural and other domains of mutual interest, and our friendly ties have grown stronger," the head of state noted.

"Today, there are ample opportunities for developing cooperation between our countries and expanding its scope. I believe that through joint efforts, we can capitalize on existing opportunities and achieve a further deepening of our traditionally friendly relations and productive cooperation for the sake of the prosperity of our peoples that share a profound affinity towards each other," the Azerbaijani leader said.
