Nozdria said that the Ukrainian side is ready to support the high dynamics of cooperation in the implementation of bilateral projects in the aviation industry, including the repair and modernization of equipment. According to the press service, respective contracts were signed during the meeting.

"Indonesia has been a longstanding reliable partner of Ukraine in defense cooperation, so we are interested in mutual benefits from the development of military and technical potential of our countries," he said.
