Your Excellency,

I have the pleasure to convey my sincere congratulations to you on your re-election as the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan and fondly remember our meeting in Davos in January this year.

On behalf of the Swiss Federal Council, I wish you every success in your endeavours, as well as the well-being and sustained prosperity of Azerbaijan and the Azerbaijani people.

Switzerland and Azerbaijan enjoy good and broad ties and I sincerely hope that the excellent relations between our two countries will continue to flourish during your tenure.

Please accept, Excellency, the assurances of my highest consideration.

Sincerely,

Alain Berset
