and discussions we had. The agreements we reached on the future
directions of Azerbaijan-Pakistan relations in various fields,
along with the numerous documents signed during the visit, will
contribute to further expanding the scope of our bilateral agenda

areas.
I am confident that the traditional friendship and strategic
partnership between Azerbaijan and Pakistan, strengthened by the
time-tested brotherhood and unity of our peoples, will continue to
