PM Shehbaz was accompanied by Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar and Chief of the Army Staff Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir. The summit forms part of his four-nation diplomatic tour, which has already included visits to Turkiye and Iran. He is expected to proceed to Tajikistan next to attend the International Conference on Glaciers in Dushanbe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Addressing the summit, Shehbaz said the world is facing \u201cgrave challenges\u201d such as conflict, climate change, disease and economic instability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is why the three of us have assembled here today, opting for compassion while rejecting conflict,\u201d he said. \u201cWe are confident that patience and wisdom will ultimately usher in peace and prosperity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He thanked President Aliyev for the warm hospitality and said the summit reflected \u201ca meeting of hearts and souls of genuine friends and sincere well-wishers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shehbaz recalled \u201cfruitful discussions\u201d held during last year\u2019s Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit in Kazakhstan and said the trilateral partnership was poised to rise to \u201cnew heights\u201d in line with the aspirations of the people. \u201cThis would be no surprise to anyone, as Pakistan, Azerbaijan and Turkiye are bound together by deep historical, cultural and spiritual ties forged through centuries of shared values and mutual support.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The prime minister reaffirmed solidarity with Baku and Ankara, referencing Pakistan\u2019s unwavering positions on Karabakh and Turkish Cyprus. He noted, \u201cOur strength lies in our solidarity and mutual respect.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shehbaz thanked both nations for their visible public support during Pakistan\u2019s recent military standoff with India, following the Pahalgam incident.<\/a> \u201cWe could not but be mesmerised by the intensity of the fervour and enthusiasm of our common citizens,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said India had failed to provide credible evidence linking Pakistan to the incident and had rejected Islamabad\u2019s offer of a neutral and transparent international investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Addressing the summit first, President Ilham Aliyev expressed concern over the recent Pakistan-India tensions and reiterated Azerbaijan\u2019s solidarity with Pakistan. \u201cWe watched it very closely in the hope that peace would prevail. From the early hours, we expressed our solidarity with brotherly Pakistan,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aliyev added that resolution through \u201cdialogue and negotiations in line with the UN Charter and resolutions\u201d was the best path forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier in the day, PM Shehbaz also extended heartfelt congratulations to Aliyev and the people of Azerbaijan on their Republic Day. \u201cThe way the Azeri nation fought for its liberation, you earned a high position in the community of nations,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also praised President Erdogan\u2019s handling of the Kurdish rebel issue, referring to the PKK\u2019s recent decision<\/a> to disband. \u201cThat goes to explain in volumes, my brother, your diplomatic skills to resolve this issue. By virtue of this, you have earned a high place and influence not only in the region but beyond,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A day earlier, Shehbaz held a bilateral meeting with President Aliyev and thanked him for Azerbaijan\u2019s support during the recent confrontation with India. The meeting was also attended by COAS Gen Munir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a press release from the Prime Minister\u2019s Office, the two sides reaffirmed their commitment to diversify their strategic partnership and promote investment opportunities. Azerbaijan agreed to facilitate the exchange of delegations to advance discussions on its investment in Pakistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), PM Shehbaz described the visit as a celebration of \u201chistoric bonds rooted in shared history, mutual trust and unwavering support for each other.\u201d He expressed confidence that under President Aliyev\u2019s leadership, bilateral ties would \u201ccontinue to grow from strength to strength.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
