Waheed Ahmad (Former Ambassador): 

Prime Minister’s visit to Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan is good move to reconnect with regional neighboring counties. In the recent changing global scenario, Prime Minister held detailed discussions with Azerbaijan to enhance bilateral trade and business activities. Pakistan and Uzbekistan are close friends and enjoying cordial relations which span over decades. Pakistan was perhaps the first country to recognize Uzbekistan as an independent country when it won its freedom from former USSR in 90s.
