Dear Mr. President,
It is on my behalf and on behalf of the people of Azerbaijan that I am delighted to extend my heartfelt congratulations and best wishes to you, and through you to the friendly people of the United States, on the historic occasion of the 250th anniversary of the independence of the United States of America.
The United States of America declared its independence two hundred and fifty years ago with the signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, a historic document that has become a symbol of the struggle for freedom, indomitable resolve, and democracy, thereby giving impetus to the emergence of a new order not only on the continent, but throughout the world. Since then, the United States has undergone a remarkable course of development and today stands as a strong and influential nation in every respect on the global stage. Thanks to the policies you are pursuing with determination and resolve, the United States continues to achieve remarkable success while further strengthening its leadership, international standing, and global influence.
It is gratifying that Azerbaijan–United States relations have been developing successfully and along an upward trajectory over the recent period. We highly value the strategic partnership established between our two countries and express our gratitude for the great importance you have consistently attached to strengthening our interstate relations, as well as for your steadfast support in this regard. I am confident that the Charter on Strategic Partnership, signed in February, which has elevated our relations to a qualitatively new stage, will give fresh impetus to the development of our partnership not only in such traditional areas as the economy, energy, connectivity, and security, but also in digital transformation, artificial intelligence, and other important areas.
We also express our profound appreciation for your determined efforts to advance the peace agenda in the South Caucasus and promote sustainable development in the region. The outcomes of the historic trilateral meeting held at the White House on August 8 last year at your initiative have created an entirely new and positive atmosphere in our region. Today, Azerbaijan and Armenia live in peace and are building trade relations. I would also like to particularly acknowledge your country's continued support for the implementation of infrastructure projects that contribute to regional stability and economic development, especially the “Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity,” which will provide an alternative, reliable, and secure connection between Asia and Europe.
Dear Mr. President,
We attach special importance to further developing the mutually beneficial cooperation between Azerbaijan and the United States, which holds great potential. I am confident that, by making full use of this potential and the opportunities before us, we will, through our joint efforts, further strengthen our interstate relations and deepen our strategic partnership.
On this landmark anniversary, I renew my heartfelt congratulations and wish you robust health, happiness, continued success, and new achievements in discharging the duties of the highest office, as well as lasting peace and prosperity for the friendly people of the United States. @realDonaldTrump@WhiteHouse
The iconic Heydar Aliyev Center in Baku, a masterpiece of contemporary architecture, was illuminated in the colors of the United States flag to mark the 250th anniversary of the United States of America. We extend our warm congratulations to all our friends and colleagues in the United States. Happy National Day! 🇦🇿🇺🇸

Dear President Trump,
It gives me great pleasure to extend to you my most sincere congratulations on your landmark jubilee – the 80th anniversary – and to wish you robust health, a long life, happiness, and continued success and ever-greater achievements in your distinguished statesmanship as the eminent Leader of a strong and powerful state.
You have played an indispensable role in establishing and deepening of the strategic partnership between Azerbaijan and the United States, and we highly value that. The signing of the Charter on Strategic Partnership – initiated during our historic meeting with you at the White House in August last year and finalized six months later within the framework of the visit of U.S. Vice President JD Vance to our country – has elevated Azerbaijan–U.S. relations to a qualitatively new level. This remarkable achievement stands as a clear testament to your unwavering will and determination. We express our gratitude to you for the great importance you attach to the development of our interstate relations and for your consistent support in this regard.
We are also grateful to you for your determination in advancing the peace agenda in the South Caucasus. The Trilateral Joint Declaration signed in Washington in your presence, as well as the initialing of the Agreement on Establishment of Peace and Inter-State Relations with Armenia, are the result of your consistent efforts toward peacebuilding. At the same time, we view the “Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity” (TRIPP) – which will ensure unobstructed connectivity between the main territory of the Republic of Azerbaijan and Nakhchivan, and will become part of the Middle Corridor – as a further contribution to the development of sustainable peace and cooperation in the region.
Dear Mr. President,
I hold in the highest regard the personal relationship, friendship, profound respect, and trust between us, and I would like to express my satisfaction with our productive meetings and contacts over the past year, held in an atmosphere of cordiality and sincerity.
High-level mutual understanding provides a solid foundation for deepening our relations across various fields. Our shared determination to develop and strengthen Azerbaijan–United States relations in all areas, particularly in trade and the economy, investment, energy, security, connectivity, technology, and other sectors, is commendable.
I am confident that we will continue to successfully pursue our joint efforts to further deepen the friendship and reliable partnership between Azerbaijan and the United States, and to comprehensively expand our productive cooperation.
Expressing my deep respect and esteem, I once again extend my warmest wishes to you and your family, and wish you success in your important endeavors for the prosperity of the friendly American people. @realDonaldTrump@WhiteHouse
One week has passed since Artemis II returned to Earth after a historic mission around the Moon. We laughed, we cried, and we pushed the boundaries of what’s possible, setting the stage for future innovation and exploration.
We’re just getting started.
Hello, Moon. It’s great to be back.
Here’s a taste of what the Artemis II astronauts photographed during their flight around the Moon. Check out more photos from the mission: https://t.co/rzM1P0QbOl
LIVE: Watch with us as the Artemis II astronauts make their closest approach to the Moon, traveling farther from Earth than ever before. https://t.co/Zpy7GdTqA8
Easter Moon from @Space_Station (almost egg-like tonight). Turns out my four @NASAArtemis friends are somewhere in that frame, too. As are the rest of you in the second photo, as the blue glow of Earth's atmosphere draws the Moon in. Seconds after this shot, it had disappeared completely, setting behind its Mother Earth.
One last look at Earth before we reach the Moon.
This view of the Earth was captured on April 5, the fourth day of the Artemis II mission, from inside the Orion spacecraft. The four astronauts will reach their closest approach of the Moon tomorrow, April 6.
History in the making
In this new image from our @NASAArtemis II crew, you can see Orientale basin on the right edge of the lunar disk. This mission marks the first time the entire basin has been seen with human eyes.

Against the backdrop of the word PEACE written in large capital letters, the President of Azerbaijan and the Prime Minister of Armenia shake hands.
What may seem like a coincidence holds deep symbolic meaning.
Ilham Aliyev, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, participates in the inaugural meeting of the Board of Peace as a founding member state.
President Donald Trump, as the Founding Chairman of the Board of Peace, once again underscored the Azerbaijan–Armenia peace agenda. #BOP @POTUS
