NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg confused the capitals of Georgia and Azerbaijan midway through his multi-day trip to the Caucasus. Stoltenberg visited the region to drum up support for NATO in three former Soviet republics.

“It’s good to be back in Baku,” Stoltenberg said in Tbilisi on Monday, a day after his actual trip to Baku. The NATO chief recovered from his geographic gaffe in the following breath, stating that his presence “reflects how much we value the partnership between Georgia and NATO.”
