🇦🇿🇵🇰 At the invitation of H.E. Ambassador @QasimMFA, I attended the flag-hoisting ceremony marking Pakistan Day. The event takes place against the backdrop of heightened regional tensions, as #Pakistan seeks to prevent the spillover of instability from #Afghanistan, including militant activity, cross-border attacks, radicalization, arms trafficking, and transnational terr@rism. The unresolved issue of #Jammu and #Kashmir also remains a key factor shaping regional security dynamics. The developments of 2019, when #India unilaterally altered the status of the region, continue to complicate prospects for dialogue and contribute to persistent tensions in South Asia. #Azerbaijan and Pakistan continue to actively strengthen their bilateral relations and support one another in efforts to promote stability, cooperation, and shared prosperity.
