During his visit, Sharif signed five key documents aimed at bolstering cooperation between the two nations. These agreements focus on areas including oil trade, the exchange of liquefied natural gas and oil products, as well as fostering closer ties between the cities of Nakhchivan and Lahore. Additionally, the visit saw the signing of agreements on customs cooperation, agriculture, ecology, and education — further cementing the strategic partnership between Pakistan and Azerbaijan.
