Czech defence and aerospace firm Omnipol is in intensive talks with Vietnam over possible sales of equipment, the company told Reuters on Tuesday.
The comment followed a Reuters' source-based report on Monday about Omnipol's talks last week with Vietnamese officials over the possible sale of L 410 NG cargo aircraft, dual-use radars for civilian and military airports, and possible new contracts for the delivery of more L-39NG light-combat aircraft, of which Hanoi has already ordered 12.
"We can confirm that we are in intensive talks with this customer however we are bound by a Non-Disclosure Agreement and we cannot comment on any of current or potential contracts," a spokesperson for Omnipol said in an emailed statement to Reuters replying to questions about talks for the new supplies.
