Following the meeting in a limited format, Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev had an expanded meeting with Pakistan’s Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif in Baku Oct. 14.
During the meeting, President Aliyev said he is very happy with the Pakistani PM’s official visit to Azerbaijan.

The Azerbaijani president reminded that he had a good meeting with Nawaz Sharif in Davos in early 2016, where they held talks and once again emphasized the strategic significance of the cooperation between the two countries.

The Pakistani prime minister’s official visit to Azerbaijan shows that a very close cooperation continues between the two countries, added President Aliyev.

He noted that Pakistan is one of the closest friends of Azerbaijan.

Further noting that Azerbaijan and Pakistan intend to develop their relations in various spheres, President Aliyev said the two countries have very close political ties.

The Azerbaijani president said he and the Pakistani PM had discussions on the high-level political cooperation between the two countries.

He noted that Azerbaijan and Pakistan should develop their cooperation in economy and investments, boost their trade turnover, pay great attention to humanitarian issues and have a very broad and effective cooperation.

Ilham Aliyev further said the two countries support each other on all international issues.

He noted that Azerbaijan always supports Pakistan in the issues related to Kashmir, and Pakistan, for its part, always supports Azerbaijan in the issues related to the settlement of the Armenia-Azerbaijan Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

President Aliyev said the two countries stand side by side in all the international organizations.

He noted that Nawaz Sharif’s visit gives a good opportunity to review the work done and to set the future plans.
