MOSCOW, Oct 20 (Bernama) -- Russia is interested in building up naval
cooperation with Cuba, Russia's Defence Minister Sergey Shoigu, said at

"We are interested in building up cooperation in the naval sphere,"
Shoigu said.
The outlook for military-technological cooperation between Russia and
Cuba will be the theme of a separate discussion at a meeting of the
bilateral commission concerned.
"Of course, our military-technological cooperation is a special subject.
It's been developing fast and in a very positive fashion. We will be
discussing all that at a meeting of the commission for
military-technical cooperation," Shoigu said.
He recalled that Russia had accumulated vast experience of training
Cuban military personnel.
"This aspect of partnership has very good prospects. We will be prepared
to furnish assistance in training Cuban military further on," Shoigu said.
"Our contacts at the Defence Ministry are becoming a good tradition," he
concluded.
