The need for a new draft of the document was dictated partly by the completion of structural reorganisation of the Russian executive power system and partly by the need to take into account experience gathered in the area of military-technical cooperation, including the proposals made by the Commission for Military-Technical Cooperation, in particular in its decisions of February 18, 2005.
The new decree aims at ensuring ongoing development and improvement of the actively functioning system of military-technical cooperation between Russia and foreign countries and will contribute to raising the state’s effectiveness in this area of international relations.
