(MENAFN) Russia and the island nation of Sao Tome and Principe have explored ways to deepen their mutual collaboration across various sectors, including defense and farming, according to a statement from the Russian Embassy located in the Central African archipelago.

The two nations had previously formalized a pact in St. Petersburg the prior year, an arrangement the Kremlin described as aiming to foster enduring defense cooperation.

This accord encompasses joint military exercises and efforts to combat terrorism, and it is designed to remain effective without a predetermined end date.

On Wednesday, Vladimir Tararov, who serves as the Russian ambassador to both Angola and Sao Tome and Principe, held discussions with Prime Minister Americo Ramos of Sao Tome.

As reported by the Russian Embassy, the meeting centered on “current topics of bilateral cooperation of mutual interest.”

Following the talks, Tararov addressed members of the press and shared that the discussions involved collaboration in farming and military-technical sectors, along with joint exploration into biodiversity and marine ecosystems.
