Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif held a telephone conversation today with the Azerbaijan President Ilham Aliyev on the occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr.

The Prime Minister conveyed his heartfelt greetings and warm wishes to the President, his family, and the brotherly people of Azerbaijan, while praying for their continued peace and prosperity.

The two leaders reaffirmed their shared resolve to further strengthen the deep-rooted fraternal ties between the two countries. Building upon the Prime Minister's visit to Baku last month, the two leaders agreed that the Minister of Economy of Azerbaijan would visit Islamabad in the first week of the next month to hold discussions with the Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar and also pay a courtesy call on Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. This visit would ensure finalization of the key investment agreements between both sides, setting the stage for President Ilham Aliyev's expected visit to Islamabad next month.

Shehbaz Sharif said the upcoming visit of President Ilham Aliyev would be a landmark in Pakistan-Azerbaijan relations as both sides would be signing mutually beneficial investment agreements to the tune of two billion dollar, marking a new chapter in the strategic partnership between the two countries.
