Azerbaijani First Deputy Defence Minister, Chief of the Azerbaijani Army's General Staff, Colonel-General Karim Valiyev, who is on a visit to the United States, has met Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt and Adjutant General for Oklahoma and commander of the Oklahoma Army and Air National Guard, Brigadier General Thomas Mancino.

Valiyev assessed Stitt's visit paid in 2021 to the Azerbaijani districts liberated from occupation as a vivid example of high-level bilateral relations, Caliber.Az reports, citing the Defence Ministry press service.

Speaking about the participation of Azerbaijan Army servicemen in international peacekeeping operations, Valiyev noted that Azerbaijan honourably fulfilled its obligations and was one of the last among the partner countries to withdraw its peacekeepers from Afghanistan.

The sides held a detailed exchange of views on the joint activities carried out between the Azerbaijan Army and the US Oklahoma Army National Guard within the framework of the State Partnership Program, as well as discussed other issues of mutual interest.

Then the Azerbaijani delegation participated in a solemn ceremony dedicated to the 20th anniversary of cooperation between the Azerbaijan Army and the US Oklahoma Army National Guard.
