Azerbaijani and Pakistani Parliamentary Leaders Reaffirm Commitment to Strengthening Bilateral and Multilateral Cooperation
Baku, The Gulf Observer: Speaker of the Milli Majlis Sahiba Gafarova met with Syed Yousaf Raza Gilani, Chairman of the Senate of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, who is visiting Azerbaijan to attend the international parliamentary conference marking the 30th anniversary of the adoption of the Constitution of Azerbaijan.
During the meeting, the two sides discussed the significance of the international parliamentary conference, emphasizing the crucial role of the Constitution in reinforcing the legal foundations of the state, fostering social development, ensuring political stability, and safeguarding the rights and freedoms of citizens.
Speaker Gafarova highlighted the declaration of 2025 as the “Year of Constitution and Sovereignty” in Azerbaijan by the Decree of President Ilham Aliyev, describing it as both politically significant and symbolic, representing the full restoration of Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity and sovereignty following the end of Armenia’s 30-year occupation.
Both officials praised the historical, friendly, and fraternal relations between Azerbaijan and Pakistan, noting the key role of their respective heads of state in strengthening these ties. They also underlined the importance of enhancing cooperation between the legislative bodies of both countries, both bilaterally and within multilateral frameworks.
Recalling the 3rd Trilateral Meeting of the Speakers of the Parliaments of Azerbaijan, Pakistan, and Türkiye held earlier this month in Islamabad, the participants welcomed its successful outcomes, noting that it had significantly contributed to the further deepening of interparliamentary and interstate relations.
