The AR18 patent expired IIRC. they could literally copy it. They probably can't really work with an outside entity because of their convoluted politics. Also they are pretty much poor as shit despite their size. They have to use their labor advantage to afford a new weapon.

They appear to have wanted a 5.56mm rifle and there are so many options I don't understand why they produced their own and didn't even bother with considerations like STANAG.

I think you nailed it on the AR18. I think it would be fun to see fielded by a major nation.
