"Further distribution of nuclear weapons across the planet won't improve the situation in the world as regards security, but will instead further push mankind to a dangerous line," believes the Russian president.
"That's why we believe that it would be right if Brazil joined IAEA additional protocols. But, I repeat, we proceed from the fact that Brazil has all rights to develop its peaceful nuclear program," said the head of the Russian state.
Vladimir Putin reassured that Russia was ready to cooperate with Brazil in that direction in all aspects. "We have a good experience here, good developments, experts, because it's one of the interesting and promising lines of cooperation," he emphasized.
Mr. Putin did not rule out that the issue of nuclear cooperation would be raised during his visit to Brazil. "This is quite possible. We know a third unit is being commissioned at the nuclear power plant in Brazil. I repeat, we have very good traditions of power mechanical engineering and a lot of developments in this sphere. We could be interesting partners for one another," said the Russian president.
