MINSK, 20 October (BelTA) - The defense ministries of Belarus and Russia held a session of the joint collegium in Moscow on 20 October, BelTA learned from the Defense Ministry.

“The decisions adopted at today’s meeting are aimed at advancing cooperation between the defense ministries of Belarus and Russia and will contribute to bolstering military security of the Union State. Priority will be given to the regional grouping of troops of the Armed Forces of Belarus and Russia, as well as joint military systems,” the ministry said.

Operational and combat training will remain an important area of bilateral cooperation. The largest event will be a joint exercise Union Shield which is due to take place in 2023.
