PRESIDENT ILHAM ALIYEV: IT IS GRATIFYING THAT AZERBAIJAN-ISRAEL RELATIONS HAVE REACHED THE PRESENT LEVEL

“During these years, Israel has come a long way in achieving tremendous success and placing itself among the most developed countries worldwide,” said President Ilham Aliyev as he sent a letter of congratulations to Israeli counterpart Isaac Herzog on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the independence of the State of Israel.

“It is gratifying that Azerbaijan-Israel relations have continuously developed exponentially and reached the present level. At its core rest the centuries-long solid friendship and feelings of mutual affinity that connect our peoples,” the head of state emphasized.

“Today, the high-level political dialogue creates a favorable ground for expanding and enriching with new substance our mutual engagement in the economy, energy, advanced technologies, education, military-technical and other domains. I am confident that Azerbaijan’s establishing Trade and Tourism Representative Offices and commencement of operation of our Embassy in Israel this year will lead to the further development of our interstate relations.

I believe that in line with the interests of our peoples and countries, we will successfully continue our joint efforts to harness, to a greater extent, the enormous potential of Azerbaijan-Israel friendship and cooperation,” the President of Azerbaijan added.
