Distinguished Leonid Danilovich!
I cordially congratulate you on the 10th anniversary of the establishment of the diplomatic relations between Azerbaijan and Ukraine.
I am glad that Azerbaijan and Ukraine removed all difficulties and move forward for strengthening independence, democratization and integration with the world community.
I am sure that the strategic partnership, international cooperation and mutual support between Azerbaijan and Ukraine will contribute to the interest of our peoples and peace, stability and progress in our region.
I wish you good luck in your activity. I wish good luck to the Ukrainian people.
Best regards,
