The third trilateral meeting of the speakers of the parliaments of Azerbaijan, Pakistan, and Türkiye concluded with the signing of the Islamabad Declaration.
In his closing remarks, Speaker of Pakistan’s National Assembly Sardar Ayaz Sadiq said the gathering had provided a valuable platform for in-depth discussions on key issues concerning the three brotherly nations. He stressed the forum’s vital role in further strengthening parliamentary relations between Azerbaijan, Pakistan, and Türkiye.
Speaker of the Milli Majlis Sahiba Gafarova noted that the meeting had reviewed regional and international developments, alongside bilateral and trilateral relations. She underlined that ties between the three countries are at their strongest, built on mutual support, unity, and solidarity, encompassing all spheres of interstate co-operation and continuing to grow.
Gafarova added that, thanks to the commitment of President Ilham Aliyev, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, and Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif, relations among the three nations had reached the level of a trilateral strategic partnership following the summit in Lachin earlier this May.
She also shared her thoughts on the current state and future prospects of trilateral parliamentary co-operation, highlighting the need to strengthen the mechanism and make it an effective tool of parliamentary diplomacy. Gafarova said the Islamabad Declaration encapsulates the fraternal relations among the three countries, emphasises the value of joint parliamentary work, and outlines new opportunities for collaboration. “The declaration also expresses the countries’ shared perspectives on regional and global developments,” she said.
Speaker of Türkiye’s Grand National Assembly Numan Kurtulmuş underlined the importance of parliamentary diplomacy in deepening ties between the three nations and their peoples. He described the meeting as highly successful and said its outcomes would greatly contribute to advancing future co-operation.
