Describing cooperation in the field of defense as satisfactory, the head of state noted that the issues relating to energy security are of vital importance in developing bilateral relations.

Praising the development of bilateral ties within the NATO, the head of state described his recent successful visit to NATO headquarters as a good sign of cooperation with this organization. President Ilham Aliyev noted that Azerbaijan’s involvement in peacekeeping operations in Afghanistan and the country’s increasing the number of its servicemen in the Resolute Support mission testify to Azerbaijan’s contribution to the overall peace building efforts in this country.
Describing Azerbaijan as a reliable and stable partner, President Ilham Aliyev underlined the country`s contribution to the reconstruction and renovation work carried out in Afghanistan, particularly the application of “ASAN xidmət” experience in Afghanistan.
President Ilham Aliyev expressed his hope that Laura Cooper’s visit to Azerbaijan and the consultations between the two countries in the field of defense will give an extra impetus to the development of bilateral cooperation.
Saying her visit to Azerbaijan aims to continue expanding cooperation and strategic partnership between Azerbaijan and the U.S in the field of defense, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense Laura Cooper added that the leadership of the United States attaches great importance to relations with Azerbaijan.
