Russia may soon sign an agreement to trade arms with NATO’s procurement agency in a sign of improving relations between the former adversaries, said Dmitry Rogozin, Russia’s envoy to the alliance, before a summit this week.
An accord with the NATO Maintenance and Supply Agency may come after President Dmitry Medvedev meets with leaders of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization Nov. 19-20 in Lisbon, Rogozin said. State-owned companies, including St. Petersburg-based United Shipbuilding Corp. and Moscow-based AO Russian Technologies, are also in talks with NATO, he said.
