A NATO delegation was received by Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev in the country's capital on Thursday (6 November) as well as with the deputy permanent representatives of the U.S. and France to the security alliance organisation, with talks focusing on global and regional issues.
The group includes the permanent representatives of Türkiye, Greece, Hungary, Montenegro, the Netherlands, North Macedonia, Norway, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden, the Czech Republic, Portugal, and Spain.
During the meeting, Turkish Permanent Representative to NATO Basat Öztürk referred to the long-standing cooperation between Azerbaijan and the alliance and to President Aliyev’s previous visits to NATO headquarters.
President Aliyev said the Azerbaijani Armed Forces had been working with the Turkish military to align with NATO standards and that modernisation would continue. He said the country had achieved its main objective of restoring territorial integrity and that defence reforms would remain a priority.
The President expressed appreciation for the delegation’s remarks on the recent discussions in Washington concerning the peace process between Azerbaijan and Armenia. He said the outcomes created opportunities for further regional development.
President Aliyev said Azerbaijan’s cooperation with NATO extends to areas such as energy security and regional connectivity, in addition to previous participation in peacekeeping operations.
Azerbaijan has contributed to NATO’s activities by serving as a transport and logistics centre during the alliance’s Resolute Support mission in Afghanistan and has taken part in NATO programmes since 1994 under the Partnership for Peace framework.
The meeting concluded with an exchange of views on the prospects for further cooperation and on regional and global developments.
