"As for the results of military technology cooperation in 2019, they are certainly positive. Despite the generally unfavourable situation and tough competition, the system of military technology cooperation with foreign states worked successfully. We not only implemented our plans in full, but also exceeded them by two percent. Military equipment totalling over $15 billion was delivered abroad. The order portfolio amounts to over $55 billion. Our partners include about one hundred countries," the transcript of the meeting reads.
Hosting the Russia-Africa Summit in October last year gave a good impetus, the president added.
"New contracts totalling about $1 billion were signed with African states," he noted.
