Russia has offered Kazakhstan assistance in creating an automated command and control information management system for the Central Asian state's Armed Forces, the Defense Ministry said on Wednesday.

Russia has offered Kazakhstan assistance in creating an automated command and control information management system for the Central Asian state's Armed Forces, the Defense Ministry said on Wednesday.

"Russia and Kazakhstan are planning to set up a joint venture to implement this project," spokeswoman Irina Kovalchuk told reporters after talks in Moscow between Russian Defense Minister Anatoly Serdyukov and his Kazakh counterpart, Adylbek Dzhaksybekov.

Kovalchuk also said Russia had offered Kazakhstan the opportunity to use the Russian-made modern technical equipment as part of the system.

C4I stands for Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence and are an essential component of modern military decision making and force management. They heavily rely on the use of reconnaissance and navigation satellites, unmanned aerial vehicles, secure communications networks and computers.

Russia and Kazakhstan have maintained strong defense ties since the breakup of the Soviet Union, although Astana has vastly improved its relations with the United States and NATO in the past decade.
