President Aliyev thanked Stoltenberg for praising Azerbaijan’s activities within the framework of the NATO-led mission in Afghanistan.
The head of state recalled that Azerbaijan started its peacekeeping duties in Afghanistan in 2002, and ended at the end of August this year.
“Azerbaijan's military servicemen were among the last military servicemen of coalition forces who left Afghanistan. Of course, it’s a great experience of working together. Today we also discussed our future plans of cooperation. Azerbaijan participates in NATO’s military training, at the same time, with one of the active and leading NATO members, Turkey, we had seven joint military trainings only this year, and this actually is serving the cause of peace and stability in the region,” President Aliyev added.
