HAVANA, December 9. /TASS/. Russia and Cuba signed a
program of technology cooperation in the defense sector until 2020 on Thursday
night.
The document was signed at the meeting of the
Russian-Cuban intergovernmental commission in Havana by Russia’s Deputy Prime
Minister Dmitry Rogozin and a vice president of Cuba’s Council of Ministers,
Ricardo Cabrisas Ruiz.
Rogozin said that the agreement was intended to help Cuba organize the
modernization of its armed forces and envisages no military sales.
"It’s not military deliveries, it’s methodological assistance. We will
offer general guidances on how to organize the long-term planning program of
the development of the armed forces and all the work related to the maintenance
of equipment," he said.
"This is the first time that we, on the request from the Cuban side,
took part in creating a long-term program of modernization, upgrade and
restoration of equipment that was previously delivered to Cuba," the
deputy prime minister added.
