On behalf of the United States of America, I extend warm congratulations to the people of Azerbaijan on your National Day.
Throughout the past year, our bilateral relationship has evolved into a Strategic Partnership, marked by the signing of a Strategic Partnership Charter in Baku by Vice President JD Vance and President Ilham Aliyev. We eagerly anticipate advancing this partnership through initiatives focused on regional connectivity, economic collaboration, and enhanced security cooperation.
The United States commends Azerbaijan’s unwavering dedication to fostering durable peace within the South Caucasus region. We remain committed to ongoing collaboration on these critical efforts and eagerly anticipate further strengthening our partnership in the coming year and beyond.
