Abstract
Azerbaijan and Pakistan have a very unique political
relationship that has surpassed territorial boundaries and
geographical distance. It offers opportunities for cooperation
in many areas, especially in the economic and defence sectors.
Diplomatic relations, established since Azerbaijan‟s
independence from the Soviet Union in 1991, have allowed
these two countries to start developing cooperation very
rapidly. Pakistan was the second country to recognise
Azerbaijan‟s independence, and has not established diplomatic
relations with Armenia.1 Both countries have supported each
other diplomatically on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and
Kashmir dispute at all international forums. This article is an
attempt to identify the prospects and potential of strengthening
economic and security ties between Pakistan and Azerbaijan.
It also tries to explore the reasons behind the low volume of
trade between the two countries, and makes concrete
recommendations on how this trade volume can be increased.
