Rosoboronexport general director Viktor Komardin said the recent meeting would initiate a mutually beneficial military-technological cooperation between the two nations.
The sultan was given a presentation of Russian-made air defence systems and was shown a Ka-52 attack helicopter in action.
He also watched a demonstration of Spetsnaz tactics given by the Russian Army’s special force units.
The Royal Brunei Armed Forces use a wide range of foreign equipment, mostly from Britain, France and the US, but have not yet purchased any Russian equipment.
