RELATIONS BETWEEN AZERBAIJAN AND USA ‘VERY STRONG’
Baku, March 31 (AZERTAC). “Relations between Azerbaijan and the United States are very strong and Washington has profound interests in Azerbaijan,” said Donald Lu, Charge d`affairs of the US Embassy.
The diplomat said high level reciprocal visits make huge contribution to further developing cooperation between the two nations.
He praised security cooperation, noting last year consultations between the US and Azerbaijan on military and security issues stimulate the bilateral ties.
In response to a question about the delay in the appointment of a new US ambassador to Azerbaijan, Lu said it did not have a negative impact on relations between the countries, saying the United States was experiencing a similar problem with some other nations.
This, said Lu, was caused by the difficulty of the process of appointing an ambassador in the United States.
