The two sides agreed that the countries’ cooperation in national defence, and ground forces in particular has been flourishing.

On the basis of implementing the common perceptions reached by the countries’ Defence Ministers at their online talks held on June 3, both sides agreed on a number of future cooperation agreements between the ground forces.

Accordingly, they are to increase exchange events to discuss issues of mutual concern and seek new possible areas of cooperation, as well as military medicine. The sides will share experience in joining United Nations peacekeeping missions, and cooperate in addressing post-war bomb and mine consequences and COVID-19 prevention and control, among others./.
