Aircraft Repair Plant Trenčín will be allowed to bid for the Czech MOD's contracts, as follows from a defence agreement with the Czech Republic, which has been approved by the Slovak government and is to be signed by both Ministers of Defence in Ostrava on 21 September 2013. "Together with the Czech Minister of Defence we agreed to remove this legislative hurdle still during a bilateral meeting at the Globsec Conference. The inter-governmental agreement will enable the Czech MOD to have equipment repaired in our Aircraft Repair Plant Trenčín, which is a welcome step, promising more work for our people," said Minister of Defence Martin Glváč.
According to the agreement, approved by the government on Wednesday, the two countries will forge co-operation in such areas as defence planning, military education, armaments, logistics, medical service, operations, exercises, and in further development of armed forces.
The framework agreement between the Slovak and Czech Republics was drafted on the basis of talks held between the Slovak and Czech governments in Trenčín and Uherské Hradiště in October 2012 and built on the previous co-operation agreements and the results of the Slovak-Czech working groups in 2012.
Among the successes of the hitherto co-operation between the countries is the engagement of the Czecho-Slovak Military Police Unit in Afghanistan, which successfully completed its mission after a six-month deployment in March 2013. It was the first joint unit under NATO´s mentoring mission in Wardak. A joint Czecho-Slovak team will be deployed in Afghanistan in January 2014.
