He expressed these views while addressing the launch ceremony of the Urdu version of book “History of the Patriotic War – The Personality Factor”, held at the Parliament House, Islamabad. The event was attended by ministers, members of parliament, diplomats, and senior officials.
Syed Ghulam Mustafa Shah said that the leadership of Pakistan holds the Azerbaijani leadership in the highest esteem, and the friendship between the two brotherly nations continues to strengthen with every passing year.
He said the publication of the book in Urdu was a significant step toward promoting better understanding between the peoples of Pakistan and Azerbaijan. “This book will go a long way in further cementing the fraternal ties between our two countries,” he noted.
The Deputy Speaker also paid rich tribute to the martyrs of Azerbaijan’s Patriotic War, whose courage and sacrifices led to the liberation of the country’s occupied territories. “Their bravery and devotion will always be remembered with great respect,” he added.
Syed Ghulam Mustafa Shah reaffirmed Pakistan’s unwavering support for Azerbaijan on all international platforms and expressed the hope that cooperation between the two nations will continue to expand in political, economic, and cultural spheres.
