PanARMENIAN.Net - Russia and Kazakhstan signed a deal on Wednesday,
Jan 30, to create a joint regional air defense system, the Kazakh
Defense Ministry said.
`This document will create a platform to secure the defense of
Kazakhstan's airspace and Russia's adjacent territory,' the Defense
Ministry said in a statement, according to RIA Novosti.
Russia's Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, who is in Kazakhstan on an
official visit, and his Kazakhstan counterpart Defense Minister
Adilbek Dzhaksybekov signed the agreement in the capital Astana.
Russia has previously had such an air defense agreement only with
Belarus, but has planned to sign a similar one with Armenia, although
the two countries do not share a border.
The two defense ministers also discussed bilateral military issues
including Russia's proving grounds in Kazakhstan and military
education.
