Belarus' president promised aid to Iran's military Thursday, and held talks with the visiting Iranian defense chief. "Our cooperation with Iran in the military-technical sphere is based on the development, above all, of high technologies," Alexander Lukashenko said during a meeting with Mostafa Mohammad Najjar.
He also said that Belarus would implement contracts it had signed with Iran, but it was unclear whether he was talking about weapons sales or other trade deals. Belarusian officials declined to comment. Najjar said that "Belarus holds a special position in Iran's foreign policy." (AP)
