During the meeting, both sides highly valued the traditional and multifaceted cooperation between the two countries and agreed that the current defense relationship is not commensurate with the potential and needs of both sides. They reached a consensus on promoting exchanges at all levels, including high-level delegations, cooperation in training, the defense industry, and other areas of mutual demand and potential, aiming towards signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on defense cooperation between the two countries.

Regarding defense industry cooperation, the heads of the two delegations introduced each side’s defense industry and agreed to enhance exchanges and meetings between their respective defense industry corporations to explore potential cooperation opportunities.

General Nam also agreed with the Serbian side’s proposal to study the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding on defense industry cooperation as a foundation to further develop the relationship in this field in the near future.
