Hundreds of officers of the armed forces of the Central African Republic (CAR) are currently undergoing training in Russia, CAR Defense Minister Claude Rameaux Bireau said on Wednesday.
"Over the past five years, Russian instructors have trained more than 10,000 servicemen of the armed forces of the CAR. And the training process is qualitatively different from the learning experience with other partners," the minister said in an interview with RTVI.
CAR and Russia signed a number of documents on the supply of weapons, ammunition and other things, but due to some logistical difficulties, the republic is expecting the promised arms, the minister added.
