Ukraine, Afghanistan discuss military-technical cooperation

IRNA

Kiev, Aug 27, Itar-Tass/ACSNA/IRNA -- The Ukrainian and Afghan foreign
ministers, Anatoly Zlenko and Abdullah Abdullah, held talks on 
Wednesday on prospects for military-technical cooperation between the 
two countries. 
Zlenko told journalists, "We know that Afghanistan needs military 
equipment and ammunition. Ukraine may provide this to Afghanistan." 
At the same time, Zlenko said the sides agreed that 
military-technical cooperation should be discussed by specialists. 
Abdullah pointed out that there is a serious problem of disarming 
landmines in Afghanistan. "We hope that we will cooperate in this 
field," the Afghan diplomat said. 
Last June Ukrainian President Leonid Kuchma instructed the 
government to study a possibility of supplying Afghanistan with modern
arms.
