As a CIS member, Azerbaijan participates in joint military exercises, defence agreements, and intelligence-sharing initiatives, aiming to improve interoperability and counter-terrorism efforts among member states. 

The country also engages in military-technical cooperation, benefiting from access to training programs and defense technology exchanges that help modernize its armed forces. Additionally, Azerbaijan contributes to regional border security efforts, addressing challenges like drug trafficking and transnational threats.
