The meeting discussed issues of equipping the Azerbaijan Army with the latest electronic technologies, expanding the capabilities of communication systems, the current state and prospects for the development of cooperation, and other aspects of mutual interest.
Colonel general is a three or four-star rank in some armies, usually equivalent to that of a full general in other armies. North Korea and UUSR have used the rank in that fashion throughout their histories.
