“Over the last 30 years, the United Kingdom and the Republic of Azerbaijan have worked together to develop an important strategic partnership. I am delighted that since the early foundations of British investment in Azerbaijan’s energy sector, this relationship has broadened and flourished,” Prime Minister Johnson said in his message.

“Investment and trade continue to grow. Our education and cultural links are extremely close, and we have developed increasingly valuable cooperation on important issues, including climate change and clean energy, regional security, and support for women and girls. The United Kingdom is, and will continue to be, a steadfast and supportive partner for the Republic of Azerbaijan,” the letter noted.

“I look forward to the continued development of our partnership in the years ahead,” the UK Prime Minister added.
