As for military-technical cooperation, we also discussed this issue. This also has quite broad prospects, both in Ukraine and in Azerbaijan. We see the development of military industries, the defense industry, and we can look at joint production. But in general, we have excellent opportunities in production. And today we also had broad negotiations about this.
