January 17, Pozirk.<\/em><\/strong> Belarusian Interior Minister Ivan Kubrako\u016d and his Azerbaijani counterpart Vilayat Eyvazov signed a protocol of cooperation and the agreement on mutual recognition of driver’s licenses at a meeting in Baku yesterday, the Belarusian interior ministry reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kubrako\u016d also proposed joint training, retraining and advanced professional development for personnel, as well as expanding technological and industrial cooperation, including the use of Belarus\u2019 defense industry capabilities, it noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eyvazov focused on cooperation with Belarus in the field of law enforcement, combating transnational organized crime, such as drug trafficking, human trafficking, illegal migration and cybercrime, according to the Azerbaijani interior ministry’s website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the last decade, Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka supplied Azerbaijan with weapons, despite Belarus being a member of a Russia-led military alliance that includes Armenia and does not include Azerbaijan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0141uka\u0161enka\u2019s declarations of support for Azerbaijan and his tour of Nagorno-Karabakh in May 2024 sparked a rift with Armenia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
