"Dear Kassym-Jomart Kemelevich,

I extend my sincerest congratulations to you and your brotherly people on the successful conduct of the first elections to the Republic of Kazakhstan's new parliament, the Kurultai.

I wish the Kurultai success in its work.

Developing relations with Kazakhstan, to which we are closely bound by common roots, shared moral values, and ties of brotherhood, is of particular importance to us. Our active and fruitful political dialogue has given impetus to further strengthening and enriching the Azerbaijan-Kazakhstan strategic partnership with new substance.

I believe that the friendly relations and strategic partnership between Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan, built on solid foundations, will continue to develop and deepen along an upward trajectory through our joint efforts in accordance with the interests of our peoples.

Taking this opportunity, I reiterate my congratulations, wishing you robust health, happiness, continued success in your supreme state activities, and lasting peace, welfare, and prosperity to the brotherly people of Kazakhstan."
