BAKU. June 8 (Interfax) - NATO is pleased with the level of relations it has with Azerbaijan, a contributor to the peacekeeping operation in Afghanistan, the alliance's Liaison Officer on the South Caucasus Region William Lahue told journalists on Friday.
Azerbaijan and NATO are interested in further promoting and expanding their relations, he said.
A vivid example of it is the peacekeeping operation in Afghanistan, he added.
Commenting on Azerbaijan's role in the non-aligned movement, Lahue said that every country is entitled to make its own choice of policy.
Every country makes its own choice regarding its policy, Lahue said, adding that Azerbaijan's position was not standing in the way of its relations with NATO.
