President of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, made a special phone call to Pakistan’s Prime Minister, Shehbaz Sharif. During this conversation, President Aliyev expressed his deep gratitude to the people and government of Pakistan for always standing by Azerbaijan on the Karabakh issue. The Karabakh conflict is a long-standing dispute between Azerbaijan and Armenia over the Nagorno-Karabakh region.

PM Shehbaz Sharif Congratulates Azerbaijan on Historic Peace Deal with Armenia
In the same phone call, PM Shehbaz Sharif congratulated President Aliyev and the people of Azerbaijan on achieving a historic peace agreement with Armenia. This peace deal marks a significant turning point in the decades-long conflict between the two nations.
The Prime Minister praised President Aliyev’s leadership and determination in finding a peaceful solution. He also appreciated the role played by U.S. President Donald Trump in helping broker the deal, calling it a moment that will bring peace, stability, and economic growth to the Caucasus region.
PM Shehbaz said the peace deal is a major victory not just for Azerbaijan, but for all countries in the region that wish for prosperity and cooperation instead of conflict.
Pakistan’s Long-Term Commitment to Supporting Azerbaijani Brothers and Sisters
PM Shehbaz Sharif reaffirmed that Pakistan will always support Azerbaijan, especially on the Karabakh matter. He called this support a moral duty and a national responsibility that is based on shared values, mutual respect, and deep historical ties.
He reminded that Pakistan was one of the first countries to recognize Azerbaijan after its independence in 1991 and has never recognized Armenia because of its occupation of Azerbaijani territory in the past.
“This is not just diplomacy; it is a relationship of the heart,” PM Shehbaz said, noting that Pakistanis consider Azerbaijanis as brothers and sisters in faith and friendship.

President Aliyev explained that the peace deal would open the door for new economic opportunities in the region. With tensions reduced, it will now be easier to develop trade routes, transport corridors, and energy projects that link Pakistan to Central Asia through Azerbaijan.
He pointed out that Azerbaijan’s location makes it an important transit country, and Pakistan’s ports—especially Gwadar Port can serve as gateways for Central Asian goods to reach global markets.
