Cooperation with the new entrants in NATO and the EU "should be seen broader than as export-import operations," he said.
Such cooperation "should involve joint research, development and manufacture of arms and special equipment for multinational counter terrorist formations and their training," Chemezov said.
Such work should build on the basis of the compatibility of intelligence, control and communication, logistics provision, including international marking of small arms in a bid to prevent their getting into the hands of terrorists, Chemezov noted.
"The main thing is to ensure long-term and equal interaction. The optimal form here is industrial cooperation on the long-term basis," Chemezov stressed.
He recalled that Rosoboronexport's geography of cooperation has over 70 countries, 43 of them having Rosoboronexport offices.
Rosoboronexport practices different forms of cooperation and settlement, particularly with countries having their own military production or military-hardware repair and maintenance base.
In such cases, Rosoboronexport sets up joint ventures, for instance service and supply centers for Russian military equipment, and development offices to adapt Russian military equipment to the local conditions.
Rosoboronexport provides technological backing in the updating of local defense works for the development and manufacture of military products for third countries, Chemezov said.
He noted that "of special importance for Russia is military-technical cooperation with countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States. The defense-industrial potential of the partner countries very much depends on it."
The Federal Unitary State Enterprise (FGUP) Rosoboronexport is the state mediator in the export/import of military products.
