On September 1, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev met with Pakistani Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif in Tianjin, China, emphasising strong bilateral ties, regional cooperation, and shared achievements in peace and diplomacy.

Pakistani Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif expressed appreciation on behalf of his country and people for Azerbaijan’s political support and solidarity during India’s military actions against Pakistan in April–May this year.

President Ilham Aliyev, emphasising the brotherly ties between Azerbaijan and Pakistan, congratulated Pakistan on its victory over India. He noted that, in response to Azerbaijan’s support, India has attempted to retaliate against Azerbaijan in international organisations, but stressed that this holds no significance for Azerbaijan, as brotherly relations take precedence above all.

Prime Minister Sharif recalled his previous visits to Azerbaijan and underlined the importance of the trilateral meeting held in Lachin involving Azerbaijan, Türkiye, and Pakistan. President Aliyev confirmed that measures are being taken to implement the outcomes of the Azerbaijan-Türkiye-Pakistan trilateral format.

The Pakistani leader also congratulated Ilham Aliyev on the progress in normalising relations and advancing the peace agenda between Azerbaijan and Armenia, describing it as a historic achievement. President Ilham Aliyev thanked him and emphasised the importance of these developments for securing lasting peace in the region.

Additionally, President Ilham Aliyev highlighted the significance of his recent visit to Washington in strengthening Azerbaijan-U.S. relations, noting the role of U.S. President Donald Trump in these processes.

The leaders discussed the work of the Azerbaijan-Pakistan Intergovernmental Commission, focusing on enhancing economic and trade cooperation in line with strong political ties.

Steps were also outlined to advance these efforts, including the implementation of a project in Pakistan inspired by Azerbaijan’s “ASAN Khidmet” model.
