From 26 to 29 October 2026, the Deputy Chief of the Army General Staff, Major General Azim Nuredin, paid a working visit to the Military Representative of the Mission of the Republic of North Macedonia to NATO and the EU in Brussels, and to the Military Representative at NATO’s Allied Command Operations in Mons, Kingdom of Belgium.
During the visit, Major General Nuredin held working meetings with both Military Representative sections. The meetings reviewed the activities and tasks of the MILREP, the process of filling national military posts in NATO and in the Alliance’s command structure, and the Army’s participation in NATO operations and exercises. Views were also exchanged on other significant issues relating to current security challenges and Alliance policies.
General Nuredin also met with the Ambassador and Permanent Representative of the Republic of North Macedonia to NATO, Mr Orhan Murtezani. Discussions focused on the current security situation, the country’s commitments and priorities within NATO, and ongoing efforts to meet its obligations as an Ally.
The discussions also addressed plans for the Army’s further development and modernisation, strengthening its operational capabilities, and ensuring continued alignment with NATO standards and objectives. The importance of close coordination between national institutions and the Permanent Mission to NATO was underscored as essential to advancing national priorities efficiently while contributing to the Alliance’s collective security.
