"The current state of cooperation between the defense industries and ways to intensify it were discussed during the conference. Each side presented its vision of potential topics for further dialogue. The SpetsTechnoExport director, in addition to proposals for the supply of modern weapons and military equipment, spoke about the prospects of cooperation in the field of joint developments and voiced the proposals of the Ukrainian side on possible areas of such cooperation," the report reads.

According to the report, both parties agreed to further sign two memoranda - on mutual understanding on the development of production and commercial use of defense production and on mutual understanding on scientific and technical cooperation in the defense sector.
