Madagascar-Russia military deal ‘nothing special’
BBC Monitoring
The world through its media
Copyright: AFPImage caption: Madagascar said it had military co-operation deals with various countries A military co-operation deal agreement between Madagascar and Russia, signed in January, is nothing out of the ordinary, Malagasy Defence Minister Leon Richard Rakotonirina has said
“There is nothing special about this agreement, just as there is nothing special about the other military co-operation agreements Madagascar has concluded with other partner countries.”
He was responding to questions about the deal during a meeting with a Chinese defence attaché and the Indian ambassador.
Earlier, United News of India had reported that it was “five-year agreement with the possibility of extension on military and technical co-operation, which includes arms supplies, training of military personnel and maintenance of equipment”.
