At a joint press conference, Sutanovac underlined that the Brazilian Minister’s visit to Serbia is a confirmation of the exceptional relations between the two countries.
He maintained that there is room for joint investment in the enhancement of the military industry, which can lead to their joint participation in the markets to which Serbia and Brazil deliver their products.
Serbia is interested in sharing experience in training for peacekeeping missions, as Brazil currently has over 2,200 soldiers in various missions throughout the world, Sutanovac noted.
He voiced his expectation that a military delegation from Brazil will visit Belgrade next year during the Partner show, an international exposition of weapons and military equipment, in order to contemplate possibilities for bilateral cooperation.
Jobim stressed that agreement has been reached to form a working group to define the specific details of cooperation, emphasising that Brazil is interested in cooperation between the Serbian and Brazilian military-technical institutes.
Brazil has vast experience when it comes to peacekeeping operations and one of its important army training centres is located in Rio de Janeiro, Jobim observed, affirming that Brazil intends to cooperate with Serbia in this domain.
He also voiced his expectation that in 2011 the two defence ministries will step up their cooperation.
