"Armenia is expanding its defence cooperation and this is a good opportunity to deepen Armenian-Indian relations in this field," Safaryan told Indian media.
India sold Armenia the Swathi weapon-locating radar system in 2020. This was followed by a bilateral agreement under which New Delhi would supply Yerevan with ammunition, Pinaka multi-barrel rocket launchers and anti-tank ammunition.
The Armenian Deputy Foreign Minister also stressed that Armenia would like to see more trade and economic relations with India, as well as other forms of Indian presence in Armenia and throughout our region.
India and the Philippines signed a $375 million deal in January 2022 for the sale of three batteries of the BrahMos supersonic cruise missile system, which India and Russia jointly developed, according to media reports.
African countries are also on the client list, with Mauritius accounting for 6.6 per cent of India's arms exports between 2017 and 2021, followed by Mozambique (5 per cent) and Seychelles (2.3 per cent), according to a working paper published by the Export-Import Bank of India in October 2022.
