 `NATO-Azerbaijan partnership based on active political dialogue`
NATO-Azerbaijan partnership is based on active political dialogue and substantial practical cooperation, said Daniel Cristian Ciobanu, Romanian Ambassador to Azerbaijan.
He made the remarks Wednesday at the summer session of NATO International School of Azerbaijan (NISA) within the panel “NATO partnerships and indivisibility of security in the Euro-Atlantic area as a common response to regional security challenges”.

Ambassador Ciobanu highlighted that relations between NATO and Azerbaijan are developing strongly and they have a strategic value.

According to him, Azerbaijan has a pivotal role to play in increasing European energy security and has, in the same time, huge opportunities in the field of freight transport.

“It’s important that NATO and its partners maintain strategic awareness regarding the new risks that could affect the security of energy infrastructure and vital energy supplies. As a NATO and EU member, Romania is determined to further promote and actively support Azerbaijan’s efforts to enhance its relations with the European and Euro-Atlantic institutions,” he added.

Ambassador Ciobanu said that at the Warsaw Summit (8-9 July 2016), NATO will deliver important decisions to boost security in and around Europe.

In order to safeguard the security at home, North Atlantic Alliance must also project stability beyond its borders, according to the ambassador.

“NATO is facing a very complex and fluid security environment with many challenges. North Atlantic Alliance is responding with strength, resolve and readiness. Modern challenges require a modern Alliance,” he concluded.
