President Aliyev revealed that investment projects under review between the three nations are valued at \$2 billion, with Pakistan expected to receive a significant portion. Key areas of focus include infrastructure, energy, and technology, with discussions underway to finalize the scope and execution of the projects.
“Joint defence initiatives among Pakistan, Turkey, and Azerbaijan are essential for regional stability and mutual security,” Aliyev emphasized during the summit, underscoring the strategic importance of deepening trilateral cooperation.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan reiterated Turkey’s support for strengthening strategic partnerships with both Azerbaijan and Pakistan. He also expressed solidarity with Azerbaijan’s post-war reconstruction efforts and condemned the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
While Pakistan has yet to officially confirm the details of the investment package, sources close to the matter indicate that negotiations are actively progressing. The summit also served as a platform for the exchange of ideas on regional development, mutual defence, and economic collaboration.
Multiple memoranda of understanding (MoUs) and joint declarations are expected to be formalized in the coming weeks, as the three countries seek to cement their growing alliance and drive forward economic integration across key sectors.
The summit highlights a renewed commitment among the three nations to advance shared regional interests, leveraging economic investments and joint initiatives to foster long-term prosperity and security.
