Pakistan and Azerbaijan have agreed to enhance cooperation across multiple sectors. This step comes as both countries aim to strengthen their strategic partnership.
On Wednesday, Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar held a telephonic conversation with Azerbaijan’s Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov. The leaders reviewed recent regional and global developments and discussed ways to boost bilateral ties.
The conversation followed the meeting between Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit. Both sides emphasized the importance of continued collaboration and mutual support in economic, political, and cultural fields.
In addition to bilateral talks, Ishaq Dar addressed the recent Israeli attack on Qatar. He condemned the assault as a violation of Qatar’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. Dar described it as an illegal act that provokes regional tensions and threatens peace.
He highlighted that Israeli actions in Palestine have already destabilized the region. The latest attack, he said, poses a serious threat to regional security. Dar further noted that the strikes contravened international law and widely accepted global norms.
Pakistan, alongside Algeria and Somalia, has requested an emergency meeting of the United Nations Security Council. Dar also called for an urgent debate at the UN Human Rights Council and welcomed the decision to hold an extraordinary Arab-Islamic summit.
Reaffirming Pakistan’s solidarity with Qatar, Dar urged the international community to condemn Israel’s actions and take effective measures to restore peace. He emphasized Pakistan’s commitment to supporting Qatar and promoting stability in the region.
This initiative reflects Pakistan’s proactive role in regional diplomacy and its dedication to fostering international cooperation. Strengthening ties with Azerbaijan and supporting peace in the Gulf remain key priorities for Pakistan’s foreign policy.
