President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev extended congratulations to Donald Trump on his reelection as President of the United States. In a formal letter, President Aliyev described Trump’s victory as a clear reflection of the American people’s confidence in him and the political direction he leads.
Aliyev emphasized Azerbaijan’s commitment to deepening its relationship with the United States, noting that the two countries made significant strides during Trump’s first term. “The Republic of Azerbaijan attaches a particular importance to the comprehensive development of its relations with the United States of America,” he stated.
Reflecting on past cooperation, Aliyev highlighted achievements in areas such as counter-terrorism, promoting international peace and security, and ensuring Europe’s energy security. He specifically praised Trump’s “constant resolute support” for Azerbaijan’s energy strategy, underscoring a shared commitment to Europe’s energy stability.
Looking to the future, Aliyev expressed optimism about expanding bilateral cooperation into new areas, including green and digital transitions, security, and economic collaboration. “We are determined to further expand and deepen our bilateral partnership in all areas,” he wrote, confident that Trump’s second term would strengthen ties and foster new avenues of cooperation.
Aliyev also reiterated Azerbaijan’s commitment to peace and security in the South Caucasus, voicing his belief in the continued development of Azerbaijan-the United States relations rooted in mutual trust and shared national interests.
Donald Trump was elected president, capping a remarkable comeback four years after he was voted out of the White House. Trump recaptured the White House on Wednesday by securing more than the 270 Electoral College votes needed to win the presidency.
