They will also assist each other in personnel training and share experience in coping with natural disasters, conducting search and rescue and overcoming consequences of bombs and mines left over by the war.
 
Two sides consented to boost defence ties in the interests of the two countries’ people and for the sake of peace, stability and development in the region and the world as a whole.
