MINSK, February 22. /TASS/. Belarus and Russia consider an option to establish a joint armament program, Belarusian Defense Minister Viktor Khrenin said.

"We complete each other [in the military-industrial complex area]. During the latest joint board meeting of Russian and Belarusian defense ministries, a proposal was made to have a joint plan for state armament program," he said in an interview for Rossiya-24.

According to Khrenin, "this is the next development stage" of the Russian-Belarusian "cooperation, both in military and military-technical cooperation."

"And I believe that it will only get better and better," the minister said.

He underscored that the military cooperation of Minsk and Moscow proceeds as planned.

"We have a plan with a huge number of events, about two hundreds of them. This is not a static document, though. […] Our cooperation, our interaction proceeds constantly," Khrenin said.

"As for today, my interaction with Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu, interaction of my deputies, it does not demand, as you hear [in the media], ‘a defense minister of one country held negotiations with another.’ Not at all! We can go to my office right now and to have a call. At any time of day or night," the Belarusian Defense Minister said.
