It is noted that a bilateral defence cooperation program will be drawn up, which will include joint actions, exercises and training between the Armed Forces of the two countries.
The signing of the memorandum took place via teleconference and the two Ministers agreed on a private meeting when the COVID-19 measures allow it.
