Parliamentary leaders from Pakistan, Turkiye, and Azerbaijan convened in Islamabad for a trilateral summit, issuing a joint declaration that called for united efforts against the use of militant proxies and recognized terrorism as a global threat. The meeting took place amid heightened tensions between Pakistan and Afghanistan, following deadly cross-border clashes that resulted in significant casualties on both sides.
The declaration emphasized the importance of multilateral cooperation, adherence to international law, and deepening ties in areas such as trade, defense, science, and climate change. The speakers also voiced support for the Palestinian cause, called for increased climate action and finance for developing nations, and expressed solidarity with Azerbaijan over post-conflict rehabilitation efforts.
Plans were made to enhance trilateral cooperation in defense and connectivity, with the next summit scheduled to be held in Azerbaijan in 2026.
