Dear Mr President,

On behalf of the people of Montenegro and on my own behalf, I would like to extend my most sincere congratulations on the occasion of the 28th May - the Republic Day of Azerbaijan and best wishes for further progress and well-being of your country and friendly people of Azerbaijan.

Montenegro is very proud of the friendship with your country, which we see as a solid foundation for further strengthening of bilateral relations and connection between our citizens. I do believe that our common goal towards building a strong partnership will be a constant incentive to strengthening the dialogue between Montenegro and Azerbaijan and enhancing cooperation in promoting universal values of democracy and freedom, economic development and improvement of the quality of life of our citizens.

I look forward to new impressive successes in a wide-ranging development of friendly Azerbaijan and keeping its stability under your safe leadership.

I avail myself of this opportunity to invite you to plan to visit Montenegro in the near future, in the period to be mutually agreed.

Please accept the assurances of my highest consideration and friendly regards.

Milo Dukanovic
