On 22 September 2023, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Azerbaijan Jeyhun Bayramov met with Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan Jalil Abbas Jilani within the framework of his working visit to New York to participate in the high-level week of the 78th session of the UN General Assembly.
Minister Jeyhun Bayramov expressed satisfaction with the level of existing strategic cooperation between the two countries and emphasized the prospects for the development of bilateral relations.
The Minister provided detailed information to the other side about the military-political provocations carried out by Armenia and the so-called regime created by it.
It was stated that the main purpose of the anti-terror operation carried out in the region was the disarmament of illegal Armenian armed forces and the dissolution of the illegal regime. It was noted that the local anti-terror operation carried out by the Armed Forces was conducted exclusively against legitimate military targets and aimed at neutralizing Armenia’s illegal military infrastructure. It was emphasized that Azerbaijan targeted only illegal Armenian armed formations, not the civilian population and infrastructure.
The other side stated that, as always, Pakistan supports the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan and the legitimate steps taken by Azerbaijan in its sovereign territories.
During the meeting, the sides also discussed other regional and international issues of mutual interest.
