    Baku, 26 May: Azerbaijani Defence Minister Safar Abiyev received
    yesterday [25 May] US ambassador to Azerbaijan Reno Harnish. The
    minister expressed deep satisfaction regarding close cooperation
    with the US government. A few days ago, Azerbaijani President Ilham
    Aliyev presented the NATO secretary-general with a plan of individual
    cooperation between Azerbaijan and NATO in Brussels.

    "We are seriously preparing for the Cooperative Best Effort-2004
    exercises to be held within the framework of NATO's Partnership for
    Peace Programme in Baku this autumn. Azerbaijan's integration into
    NATO bodies is continuing successfully.

    According to Harnish, a new stage of cooperation has started between
    Azerbaijan and NATO.

    "The image of your country is improving on an international level day
    by day. Azerbaijan's peacekeeping mission in Kosovo, Afghanistan and
    Iraq enhance the country's status in the world. These activities will
    yield positive results in the Karabakh conflict," the ambassador said.

    Then the sides exchanged views over military cooperation between
    the two countries and the fight against the spread of weapons of
    mass destruction.
