The Armenian Cabinet has approved a military-technical cooperation agreement (MTC) with Poland, which will be forwarded to parliament for ratification following its signing, according to Armenian media.
The agreement, formally titled “On Military-Technical Cooperation between the Ministry of Defence of the Republic of Armenia and the Ministry of National Defence of the Republic of Poland,” is designed to strengthen bilateral relations in the military-technical sphere and expand international defence cooperation.
The draft outlines the main principles and procedures for collaboration, emphasising equality, mutual respect, and mutual benefit. It specifies areas and forms of cooperation, sets regulations for the protection of classified information, and establishes rules for sales to third countries.
The agreement also details the procedures of the joint commission and includes mechanisms for dispute resolution, entry into force, and termination.
The Armenian Ministry of Defence said that the agreement aligns with the government’s 2021-2026 programme, which prioritises comprehensive reforms in the defence sector.
“Armenia places great importance on deepening its high-level, trust-based relations with Poland, aiming to achieve tangible results in the defence sector and to expand areas of cooperation,” the ministry stated.
It added that regular high-level political contacts and multi-sector collaboration between the two countries provide a strong foundation for constructive engagement in the military-technical field.
The legal basis for defence cooperation between Armenia and Poland is the 2004 Agreement on Cooperation in the Field of Defence, signed in Warsaw on 6 September 2004 and ratified by the Armenian parliament on 21 March 2005.
The new agreement is intended to formalise procedures for technico-military cooperation, creating a framework for closer coordination between the two defence ministries.
Cabinet officials noted that signing the agreement will complement the existing defence cooperation agenda, further promoting bilateral ties and enabling practical implementation of joint initiatives.
