Russia is ready to set off joint production of military equipment on the territory of Uzbekistan, the Russian President Vladimir Putin noted during the talks in Tashkent.
"We are ready to develop military-technical cooperation, bearing in mind not only the supply of weapons and modern equipment, but also the joint production of this equipment on the territory and at enterprises of Uzbekistan. As for deliveries, we have made an exceptional decision. You know deliveries to Uzbekistan are made at Russian domestic prices," Putin said.
The Russian President stated cooperation in such a sphere, which is extremely important for ensuring security of the two states, will further improve strategic partnership between our countries.
“Several hundred officers of the Uzbek army study at military schools in Russia,” Mr. Putin added.
