Blinken congratulates People of Azerbaijan on Independence Day

WASHINGTON, 29 May 2022, (TON): Antony J. Blinken, Secretary of State has said “on behalf of the United States of America, I wish the people of Azerbaijan a happy Independence Day.”

This year, we are celebrating the 30th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the United States and Azerbaijan. 

In the three decades since Azerbaijan’s independence from the Soviet Union, we have become strong partners in promoting European energy security, combatting transnational threats, and advancing bilateral trade and investment. 

We deeply value Azerbaijan’s contributions to the global fight against terrorism and illicit trade networks, as well as your support for Ukraine, particularly your humanitarian assistance.

The United States is proud to continue to expand our relationship not only through strong economic linkages, but also through our people-to-people ties.
