The current dynamics of development of relations between Azerbaijan and the Maldives, the expansion of our mutually beneficial cooperation are gratifying.

I am confident that we will continue to make joint efforts to strengthen friendly ties between our countries, which celebrate the 20th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations this year, and enrich mutually beneficial cooperation with new content.
On this remarkable day, I wish you robust health, happiness, success in your endeavors, and everlasting peace and prosperity to the friendly people of the Maldives.”
