 “Azerbaijan contributing to formation of strategic dialogue, atmosphere of mutual trust”

Azerbaijan is contributing to the formation of strategic dialogue and atmosphere of mutual trust, Head of the Foreign Policy Affairs Department of the Azerbaijani Presidential Administration Hikmet Hajiyev told on Dec. 12.

"US and Russian officials, as well as, NATO and Russian military officials regularly held meetings in Baku since 2017. In February 2017 the General Staff of the United States Armed Forces and Chief of General Staff of the Russian Federation and in September 2017, the chairman of NATO's military committee and Chief of General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces held meetings in Baku", Hikmet Hajiyev said. 

As it is stated during the President Ilham Aliyev's meeting with NATO’s Supreme Allied Commander Europe Curtis Scaparrotti, selection of Azerbaijan among many countries to discuss important issues on global security is a main indicator of respect and confidence in our country, as well as Azerbaijan's role in ensuring regional security, development and stability and its independent policy."

The head of the department said that, being friendly and neighborly countries,  there are strategic partnership relations between Azerbaijan and Russia. Strategic relations between Azerbaijan and the United States cover security, energy and economic cooperation. Azerbaijan is a reliable and active partner of NATO within the Partnership for Peace program.

"Baku as the "diplomatic capital" of the region plays an important role as a platform for dialogue on global security, as an international space for discussing humanitarian, sustainable development, multiculturalism, intercultural and interfaith dialogue, energy and other issues. Being a decent and responsible member of the international community, Azerbaijan contributes to the strengthening of global peace and security, arms control regime, tension at the international level and the formation of a strategic dialogue and mutual trust environment by hosting the meetings in this format", Head of the Foreign Policy Affairs Department said.
