Addressing the launching ceremony in Islamabad this evening, he said Pakistan’s defence industry is not only meeting the requirements of the armed forces of the country but also has the potential to export its products on competitive basis through reasonable armed trade.
Jam Kamal said IDEAS has become a great meeting place for defence exhibitors, high-level defence delegations, analysts and trade visitors from all over the world.
He said IDEAS provide excellent opportunity to develop better understanding, relationships, networking of defence industry, and seeking affordable solutions to meet the challenges being faced by the defence industry.
