Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov and NATO
Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg discussed cooperation prospects,
regional issues, as well as current situation at the NATO
headquarters, Azernews reports, per the ministry.
A meeting was held as part of Bayramov's business trip to
Brussels on July 19, the report adds.
“Current state of NATO-Azerbaijan partnership and ways of its
further development were discussed at a meeting with
Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg. The sides also exchanged views
on key international and regional developments,” Bayramov wrote on his Twitter account.
During the meeting, Bayramov expressed pleasure with the outcome
reached through the Azerbaijan-NATO partnership. He underlined
Azerbaijan's participation in NATO operations as part of its
contributions to international peace and security.
The minister briefed the NATO chief about the Azerbaijani
government's rehabilitation and reconstruction activities in the
lands liberated from the Armenian occupation. In this context,
Bayramov emphasized the harmful impact of Armenian-planted
landmines, which make it difficult for internally displaced
Azerbaijanis to return home and delay the rehabilitation
efforts.
Furthermore, Azerbaijan's initiatives in many areas regarding
the normalization of Azerbaijani-Armenian relations in the
post-conflict period were observed, and opinions were exchanged on
this subject.
Stoltenberg described Azerbaijan as a reliable partner and
praised the country's defense reforms and contributions to NATO
operations. The secretary-general also underscored Azerbaijan's
important role in securing Europe's energy security.
As part of his Brussels visit, Bayramov also attended the 18th
Azerbaijan-European Union Cooperation Council meeting on July
19.
