Privatisation Minister Abdul Aleem Khan stressed on Wednesday on the strategic ties and sustainable growth with Azerbaijan.

Addressing an event, Aleem Khan underlined the limitless opportunities awaiting Pakistan and Azerbaijan during his address at the inauguration ceremony. He stated that a new era of trade and innovation would soon begin, built on strong strategic relationships and mutual cooperation.

Aleem Khan said, "The future of sustainable development depends on forging strong strategic partnerships. Azerbaijan is an important partner in this region for us."

He said, "The significant role of the business community and policymakers in paving the way for this collaboration. The opening of the chamber of commerce would lay the foundation for even stronger economic ties between the two nations."

Aleem Khan said: "The sight of Azerbaijan, Turkey, and Pakistan flags at a souvenir shop. He interpreted this as a sign of the deep connection between the people of Azerbaijan and Pakistan. Azerbaijan was one of the first countries to recognise Pakistan as an independent state."

He congratulated the Azerbaijani ambassador on the accomplishment, calling it a significant milestone in the relationship between the two countries. "This is a very important day for both nations," Aleem Khan added.

The Azerbaijani ambassador, who had played a dynamic role in fostering the bilateral relationship, was also praised by Aleem Khan for his efforts.

Reflecting on the strength of the bilateral ties, Khan shared that he had visited Baku three times in the past year to further deepen these connections.
