"We highly appreciate that our country has many allies, partners, like-minded people on different continents. These are states that do not bend before the so-called hegemon. Their leaders show a real masculine character and do not bend. They choose a sovereign, independent path of development, they want to collectively resolve issues of global and regional security on the basis of international law, mutual responsibility and consideration of each other's interests, thereby contributing to the protection of a multipolar world. Russia sincerely values historically strong, friendly, and truly trusting ties with the states of Latin America, Asia, and Africa. We are ready to offer our allies and partners the most modern types of weapons. All over the world, they are valued among military professionals for reliability, quality and, most importantly, high efficiency. Almost all of them have been used in real combat operations more than once," the President stressed.
According to him, "the forum gives foreign military specialists a good opportunity to get acquainted with the development in the Russian defense industry of such areas as the use of artificial intelligence, the latest information and electronic technologies, with the practical implementation of the advanced achievements of our world-famous design bureaus and scientific schools. Of particular interest are promising models and systems that are future-oriented and will determine the "tomorrow" of the Armed Forces. We are talking about high-precision weapons and robotics, combat complexes based on new physical principles. Many of them are years, and maybe decades ahead of their foreign counterparts, and significantly surpass them in terms of tactical and technical characteristics."
As Vladimir Putin noted, "we intend to actively develop cooperative ties to create new models of weapons and equipment, to work together on fair, equal terms. Our country has a rich experience of such successful technological cooperation, primarily within the framework of the CSTO and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization."
The Russian President expressed confidence that "by developing broad military-technical cooperation, combining our efforts and potentials, we will be able to ensure reliable security and stability of our countries and the world as a whole."
