The defense ministers of Ukraine and Indonesia, Valery Shmarov (left) and Edi Sudradjat (second left) , signed a memorandum on military and armament cooperation Monday in Kiev, the Interfax news agency reported. The visit of the Indonesian minister "testifies to the development of the relations which were launched during the visit of Ukrainian President Leonid Kuchma to Indonesia" earlier this year, Shmarov said. "All the premises exist that two neutral states with no contradictions can develop their cooperation on the basis of mutual interest," Shmarov added. Sudradjat, who arrived in Kiev on Sunday, was also to meet with President Kuchma and other top officials of Ukraine. During his three-day-visit he is also to tour a shipyard in Feodosia on the Crimea peninsula which produces jetfoil ships. (DPA)
