Mr. ambassador,
Dear friends,
I once again express my gratitude for the hospitality and the attention given to me during my visit to Japan, the "Land of the Rising Sun." Your beautiful country and negotiations I spent there made a big impression on me. My first official visit to Japan opens a new stage in the continuous development of the Azerbaijani-Japanese cooperation. In these days we had a meeting with His Majesty the Emperor, Prime Minister, leaders of the House and the Counselors of the Parliament. I had many other meetings, negotiations and friendly conversations. All discussions and negotiations were held in the atmosphere of friendship, mutual understanding and sincerity. I believe that we have done a great and efficient work for the development of the Azerbaijani-Japanese relations. Our acquaintance with the ancient Japanese town of Kyoto, its beauty captivated us. The Kyoto Imperial Palace and Golden Temple made a strong impression on us. They are wonderful historical and architectural monuments. These monuments clearly show how rich history and culture of Japan. I am very pleased that I was able to meet you today. Thank you very much for your hospitality.
