At the Pakistan-Turkiye-Azerbaijan Trilateral Summit, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif reaffirmed Pakistan’s commitment to regional peace through Pakistan-India dialogue. He called on India to engage in meaningful talks to resolve critical issues, including Kashmir, water rights, and terrorism.
Dialogue Over Conflict
Speaking in Lachin, Azerbaijan, alongside Presidents Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Ilham Aliyev, Shehbaz stressed that Pakistan had always preferred peace and continues to seek it. He said Pakistan is open to talks on counterterrorism—if India shows genuine intent.
He condemned India’s recent aggression and attempts to disrupt water flow to Pakistan, calling it unacceptable. “We are making sure India never weaponises water again,” he stated.

Military and National Resolve
Shehbaz praised the armed forces and Field Marshal Asim Munir for their role in defending the nation. He noted that India failed to produce credible evidence in the Pahalagam incident and refused Pakistan’s offer for a neutral investigation.
Stronger Together
The premier highlighted centuries-old bonds among the three nations, rooted in shared history, culture, and faith. He said Pakistan, Turkiye, and Azerbaijan are united by mutual trust and a vision for peace.
He emphasized that their cooperation could turn regional challenges into opportunities through unity, trade, and strategic collaboration—rejecting conflict in favor of collective progress.
