I have the honour to extend my heartfelt congratulations on the recent agreement reached between the Republic of Azerbaijan and the Republic of Armenia. The courage to prioritize peace over discord is commendable and highly demonstrates your dedication to the prosperity and stability of the region. This significant milestone not only marks a pivotal step toward normalizing relations but also holds the promise of a more stable and harmonious region, paving the way for peace in the world.

Your commitment to dialogue and diplomacy, despite the challenges, is a testament to your remarkable leadership. This agreement not only brings hope to the citizens of both nations but also sets a positive example for conflict resolution on the global stage.

This agreement is likely lead to fruitful cooperation in addressing important issues that affect the well-being of the citizens of Azerbaijan and Armenia.

Collaborative efforts focusing on shared health challenges such as infectious diseases, maternal and child health, and noncommunicable diseases can yield positive outcomes not only for Azerbaijan but also for the broader international community.
