AIX-EN-PROVENCE, France, July 9 (Reuters) - The Brazilian government will not review multi-billion dollar bids for a fighter jet deal until the start of next year, Defence Minister Nelson Jobim told Reuters on Saturday.
"We will go to examine it into the beginning of next year. At the moment we are only focused on the domestic agenda," Jobim said on the sidelines of a business forum in southern France.
Brazil, which wants to rebuild and expand its dilapidated fleet of air force jets, has been considering offers from France's Dassault Aviation , Boeing and Sweden's Saab <SAABb.ST>.
