Piriyev met with a Pakistani team in Baku to explore military
education collaboration, Azernews reports, quoting the Defense
Ministry.

The delegation is made up of high-ranking civil servants of the
Pakistani government studying at the Pakistani National Management
College.

Piriyev welcomed the guests and expressed his pleasure to meet
them in Azerbaijan.

During the meeting, the parties discussed the present condition
and possibilities for the expansion of cooperation between the two
nations in the sphere of military education, as well as other
matters of mutual concern.

The group was given a thorough briefing on the National Defense
University and the second Karabakh war. Pakistani ambassador to
Azerbaijan Bilal Hayee also attended the meeting.

During the 44-day war with Armenia in 2020, Pakistan was among
the first countries to voice political support for Azerbaijan.
Pakistan also supports Azerbaijan in the restoration of the
country’s liberated territories.

In September 2021, the Azerbaijani, Turkish and Pakistani
special forces conducted joint international drills in Baku,
codenamed Three Brothers – 2021.

Under the drills plan, the special forces units carried out
practical shootings using small arms and grenade launchers, the
report added.

Furthermore, the parliaments of Azerbaijan, Turkey, and Pakistan
signed the Baku Declaration on cooperation. The document was signed
following the trilateral meeting held by speakers of the three
countries’ parliaments on July 27, 2021.
