    On 23 November, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev
    received Chief of the General Staff of Belgium, Lieutenant-General
    August Van Daele.

    The Head of State expressed satisfaction with existing relationship
    between Azerbaijan and Belgium. Recalling, in this connection, his
    latest visit to Brussels, where he had participated in the European
    Union and NATO events as well as met with the Belgian Prime Minister,
    President Ilham Aliyev highly valued the visit from the standpoint of
    the bilateral cooperation development.

    visit to Baku would make a considerable contribution to development
    of military cooperation between the two countries, as well.

    Touching on the Armenia’s aggression against Azerbaijan, the Head of
    State emphasized that the conflict, which had led to occupation of
    20% of the Azerbaijan’s territories and over one million refugees and
    internally displaced persons in the country, constitutes a serious
    threat to peace, stability and security in the region. President
    Ilham Aliyev stated that his country wants the conflict to be settled
    only in accordance with the international legal norms, principles of
    territorial integrity and inviolability of borders.

    Chief of the General Staff of Belgium, Lieutenant-General August Van
    Daele thanked the Azerbaijani leader for finding time to receive him,
    and expressed satisfaction with his first visit to Azerbaijan. He
    described his meetings in Baku as very successful, and informed the
    president in detail on their results.

    As to the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh, General
    Van Daele expressed confidence in its urgent peaceful resolution. He
    also pointed to the successful development of the military
    cooperation between Azerbaijan and Belgium.

    Present at the meeting was Minister of Defense of Azerbaijan
    Colonel-General Safar Abiyev.
