On arrival, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif warmly received the visiting dignitary.
A 21-gun salute boomed in the backdrop to herald the arrival of the dignitary and two children, clad in traditional dresses, presented bouquets to him.
During the visit, President Aliyev will hold meetings with Prime Minister Shehbaz and President Asif Ali Zardari.
The two sides will engage in wide-ranging discussions on areas of mutual interest to further strengthen bilateral cooperation. Several agreements and MoUs are expected to be signed during the visit.
“The visit of the Azeri President reflects the robust cooperation and leadership-level dialogue between the two countries.”
