According to the statement, the agreement calls for enhancing “operational coordination, exchanging expertise, and raising the level of readiness and integration” between the two countries’ armed forces.

The ministry described the deal as an “important milestone” in bilateral defence cooperation, which, it said, would serve the two countries’ shared interests and contribute to regional security.
