Russian tankers will conduct exercises in Laos

50

Russian military are completing training tank units for the exercises "Laros-2019" (Laos-Russia), which will be held on the territory of Laos. This event will take place for the first time in stories bilateral relations.

At the training, which is reported to be held in three stages from December 10 to December 19, the Laos army will provide its guests with weapons and military equipment, including T-72 tanks, for use by Russian guests, the press service of the Eastern Military District reports.



According to published data, more than 2019 military personnel of both countries will take part in Laros-500. The exercises are designed to help strengthen cooperation between the two states, including in terms of countering international terrorism.

The two countries have long been cooperating in the military sphere. Russian sappers are involved in mine clearance in the territory of this Asian state, where the consequences of American bombing during the Vietnam War are still being liquidated.

In January, the Russian Defense Ministry reported that the Laos government transferred 30 T-34-85 tanks to Russia, although reports later appeared in the media that these tanks, apparently, were not of Soviet origin, but were manufactured at Czechoslovak factories. However, a number of sources mentioned that the “gift” is also not completely free, because the Kremlin donated T-72 tanks and Yak-130 training aircraft to the Lao military.

        China may gain control over the assets of the KPA Kenya Port Authority, including the port of Mombasa, if the Kenyan state railway corporation KRC does not fulfill its debt obligations to the SGR Export-Import Bank of China. In December 2017, the Sri Lankan government was forced to transfer the port of Hambantota for debt to China.
        In September 2018, Zambia likewise lost control of the capital's international airport.

            For 2019, the Russian Federation takes 138th place in the corruption perception rating, gaining 28 points. There has been a deterioration in positions over the past 3 years.

            According to Transparency International, Russians have to corrupt in vital areas:

            law enforcement agencies;
            healthcare system;
            educational system;
            public administration;

Secondly, that Kenya now buys food and fertilizers from the Russian Federation for resources - I forgot to say Limberot again.
