 Kazakhstan's defence ministry said Thursday it had asked Israel to help it modernise its military and produce weapons that comply with NATO standards.

"We are currently working on the organisation of Kazakh-Israeli venutres," a ministry statement said after deputy Defence Minister Kazhimurat Mayermanov met representatives from Israel's arms developer Soltam Systems Ltd.

The ex-Soviet state, which enjoys good relations with Russia, China and the US, wants Israeli arms producers to help it manufacture modern weapons at its Petropavlovsk factory base in the north of the country.
