Russia ambassador: Russia, Syria agree on future military cooperation

Russian ambassador to Syria said that military technical cooperation remains a key area of cooperation between Moscow and Damascus, as Russia is interested to witness Syrian army efficiency in ongoing war against terrorism.

"Russian and Syrian mutual technical cooperation is being carried out in various formats. There are commercial contracts, including agreements, signed previously and which are now at the stage of implementation, and there are concrete plans and understanding by two countries about new contracts to be signed in future," Russian Ambassador to Syria Alexander Kinshchak told TASS on Sunday.

The Russian diplomat said Russia is trying to demonstrate maximum flexibility in the sphere of military technical cooperation with Syria.

"If we are allies in this war, and we are allies, we are interested to see to it that the Syria army fights efficiently," he noted.

"Naturally, we must help them in terms of supplying modern arms and munitions."
