I am confident that your future actions will play a significant role in promoting global peace and strengthening international security.

I highly appreciate our cooperation, which serves to ensure the energy security of the U.S. allies, is based on positive traditions in the energy sector, and is built on solid foundations. I would like to especially emphasise the continuous support you have provided for our country's energy policy.
We are determined to continue our active and productive collaboration with the United States in both traditional and new areas of cooperation, based on mutual trust and confidence, and we look forward to working closely with you in these spheres.
I believe that during your new presidency, the friendship and cooperation between the Republic of Azerbaijan and the United States of America will be further strengthened and enriched with new content.
Once again, I sincerely congratulate you and wish you good health, happiness, success in your endeavours, and everlasting peace and prosperity for the friendly people of America.
