Envoy: Pakistan boosts air links with Azerbaijan

Pakistan’s second airline, Airblue, is launching direct flights between Lahore and Baku, Pakistan’s Ambassador to Azerbaijan, Qasim Mohiuddin, said.

Speaking to local media, the ambassador noted that the new route reflects the continued strengthening of bilateral relations, driven by the political course set by the leadership of both Azerbaijan and Pakistan.

"Azerbaijan and Pakistan have historically shared fraternal ties and a strong and special relationship. Last year, unprecedented visits and contacts at the leadership level took place, yielding concrete and positive results," Mohiuddin said.

He also highlighted Pakistan’s participation in cultural events in Azerbaijan, noting that the country is represented at the International Carpet Festival in Icherisheher.

"Such initiatives undoubtedly contribute to the further strengthening of our ties. The launch of direct flights between Lahore and Baku by a second Pakistani airline is further confirmation of the high level of relations between our countries," he added.
