China Offers Military Aid to Armenia
BEIJING (Tasnim)—China has agreed to provide Armenia with 5 million yuan (US $830,000) in military aid per year, the Armenian Ministry of Defense said in a statement.
An agreement of cooperation was signed by Armenian Defense Minister Seyran Ohanyan and Chinese Minister of National Defense General Chang Wanquan on Dec. 26, during Ohanyan’s official visit to Beijing.
The discussed topics included military cooperation in training and technical assistance, the statement said.
Ohanyan said relations with China are a priority for Armenia’s foreign policy, and Yerevan aims to enhance military cooperation with Beijing in various fields, Xinhua reported.
During his visit, Ohanyan met with senior Chinese military officials, including Deputy Chairman of China’s Central Military Commission General Xu Qiliang.
In addition, the Armenian minister visited a number of military units of the People’s Liberation Army and headquarters of Chinese defense companies, according to Armenia’s Ministry of Defense.
The latest agreement is part of China’s wider efforts to boost ties with Armenia. In 2012, Beijing agreed to provide Yerevan with 70 million yuans in grants under an economic and technical partnership agreement.
