According to the Ministry of Defence Industry, at the meeting,
Madat Guliyev stressed the importance of the solidarity of Turkic
peoples, noted the prospects for further cooperation between
Azerbaijan and Kyrgyzstan in the defence industry and expressed
confidence that the visit would contribute significantly to the
development of links between the two countries in the defence
industry.
The visit is part of the ongoing military cooperation between
the two countries. Azerbaijan and Kyrgyzstan have a long history of
military collaboration, with the two countries having signed
several agreements in the past.
The Azerbaijani Defence Industry Minister noted that the two
countries have close military-technical cooperation, as well as
cooperation in many areas. He praised the moral and political
support of Kyrgyzstan to Azerbaijan.
The Kyrgyz Defence Minister and Ambassador expressed their
gratitude for the warm welcome and discussed the prospects for the
future development of military-technical ties between the two
countries.
The two countries have been actively collaborating in various
military spheres. Often the air, sea, and naval forces of the two
countries conduct joint tactical drills. The joint exercises are
aimed to improve the interaction between the two countries' army
units during combat operations and develop the commanders' military
decision-making and unit management skills.
The military cooperation between Azerbaijan and Kyrgyzstan first
emerged in 1992, with an agreement signed between the Azerbaijani
and Kyrgyz governments on military education and weapon equipment
and deals to help strengthen the bond between the two nations.
The two countries are also participating in the International
Defense Industry Fair (IDEF) 2021 in Istanbul, Turkey, where
Azerbaijan is exhibiting over 100 domestic products.
The visit of the Kyrgyz Defence Minister and Ambassador to
Azerbaijan is a testament to the strong ties between the two
countries and the commitment of both countries to further
strengthen their military cooperation.
