Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev said that Baku has a high level of interaction with NATO.
“We are very pleased to have such a high level of interaction with NATO. And we are very pleased that the Alliance appreciates our efforts for the benefit of the region and in the name of world security,” Aliyev said on Tuesday in Brussels at a press conference with NATO Secretary Stoltenberg.
According to him, Azerbaijan was an active participant in NATO Mission in Afghanistan in 2002-2021. “The Azerbaijani military left Afghanistan one of the latter. And, of course, this is a great experience – to work together. Today we also discussed our future cooperation plans. Azerbaijan participates in NATO military exercises. Only this year we conducted several joint military exercises with one of NATO’s most active and leading countries – and this serves the cause of peace and stability in the region, “added Aliyev.
The President of Azerbaijan said that he informed the NATO Secretary General about the supply of Azerbaijani gas to Europe. “I informed the NATO Secretary General that today Azerbaijan is a reliable supplier of natural gas with four members of the Alliance, and I am sure that in the coming years their number may increase. It is also important for regional stability and security, since energy security is already part of national security. “,” the head of state emphasized.
