    After the private meeting, President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev and
    President of Pakistan Pervez Musharraf had a meeting in the enlarged
    staff.

    President of Azerbaijan greeted the guests once again, thanked for
    acceptance of invitation to visit the Republic of Azerbaijan.

    The bilateral relations between our countries have a sufficient
    speed, President Ilham Aliyev underlined. It pleases us. In 1996,
    national leader of Azerbaijan people Heydar Aliyev have visited
    Pakistan. After that visit the links between the two countries have
    gained quick development. Pakistan and Azerbaijan always support each
    other in the international arena and successfully cooperate.
    President thanked for the support Pakistan renders to Azerbaijan
    Republic. Today, they are successfully developing both in political
    and economic-cultural fields. I am especially grateful for support in
    the Armenia-Azerbaijan, Nagorny Karabakh conflict.

    In the economic field, we have nice prospects and we have already
    discussed this. The intergovernmental commission work fruitfully and
    I am hopeful that they will receive boost after this visit.

    Of course, we have strong cooperation in the humanitarian sphere. Our
    peoples have mutual respect and considerations. I am convinced that
    after this visit, the friendly relations will further deepen and
    strengthen, the President said.

    Once again I welcome you. I would like to express my confidence that
    after this visit the relations between our countries will develop in
    all fields.

    In the enlarged meeting, in his reciprocal speech, expressing his
    gratitude to the head of Azerbaijan state, President of Pakistan
    Pervez Musharraf said the two countries have the same position
    related to many problems. WE are pleased with your hospitality and
    warm reception.

    In the private meeting with President Ilham Aliyev we have arrived in
    common conclusion. We have common interests in political, economic
    and others fields.

    Basing on the common roots, I consider we must increase the trade
    relations as well.

    In the field of defense we have also similar and common interests and
    we should expand cooperation in this field. There is a great
    potential in the oil-gas sector. We shall benefit from experience of
    Azerbaijani oilmen. Cooperation in education and data exchange is
    another direction of our mutual action and I think we shall
    strengthen co-op and in this field, President Pervez Musharraf
    underlined.
