NATO can assist Azerbaijan in creating a modern logistic system, the alliance's representative has said at a meeting with Azerbaijani journalists in Brussels.

"The organisation has the perfect logistic system and is ready to share its experience with Azerbaijan."

It is planned to send Azerbaijani officers to serve at NATO command headquarters.
From Nov.15, an Azerbaijani army officer will begin service within the naval forces of NATO.

At present, a group of officers of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces serve in a number of NATO subdivisions.

NATO appreciates Azerbaijan's efforts in the sphere of army modernisation, and its participation in the peacekeeping missions of the alliance.

The cooperation between Azerbaijan and NATO was laid out on May 4, 1994, after signing the framework document, Partnership for Peace.

In April 1996, an official document was signed within the Partnership for Peace program identifying specific areas of cooperation between the countries of the alliance. Currently in accordance with this program, Azerbaijan implements about 50 partner tasks.

On Aug. 3, 2005, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev signed a decree on the approval of the Individual Partnership Action Plan between Azerbaijan and NATO.

Now the cooperation has been extended to the second phase of the plan.
