BRASILIA, Brazil: Brazil is close to buying more Russian military equipment, including helicopters, Foreign Minister Celso Amorim said Thursday.
Amorim met Thursday with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov for talks ranging from the Middle East conflict to increasing bilateral trade, now at around US$4 billion (€3 billion) a year.
Amorim said the two nations plan to raise trade to US$10 billion (€7.5 billion) a year by 2010.
