President of Georgia Salome Zurabishvili has congratulated First Vice President of Azerbaijan Mehriban Aliyeva.
Gadin.Net reports that the congratulatory text published on AzerTaj reads:
“Your Excellency, dear Mehriban,
On behalf of the people of Georgia and on my own behalf, I am pleased to congratulate you on your birthday.
Today is a good opportunity to remember once again the work you have done for many years to bring our countries closer.
Our meeting during my visit to Azerbaijan last year opened the door to our cooperation in the years to come.
Azerbaijan and Georgia are neighboring countries that have been linked by ancient friendship, common struggle and common interests for centuries. Our partnership is based on honesty.
I deeply regret that your birthday coincides with a time when the COVID-19 pandemic is still raging around the world.
However, as we discussed with President Ilham Aliyev in April this year, the world community will overcome this virus through solidarity and international cooperation.
Taking this opportunity, I once again express my deepest condolences to the families of the people who put an end to the life of this invisible enemy in Azerbaijan.
I believe that the world will emerge from the current crisis thanks to international solidarity and close unity and will be stronger than before. I look forward to meeting you in Georgia after the end of the pandemic.
"First Vice President, let me wish you and your family good health, inexhaustible energy and prosperity on your birthday."
