Pakistan companies to participate in Abu Dhabi defence exhibition

A total of 10 high profile along with 14 auxiliary defence production companies of Pakistan will participate in the largest defence exhibition for MENA  region “IDEX” this year, Pakistani Ambassador to UAE, Mr. Jamil Ahmad Khan said in Abu Dhabi said on Friday.

While briefing the media on Pakistan’s participation in the exhibition, Ambassador Khan said that it was a matter of great pride for us that for the first time in the history of IDEX Pakistan has added a new dimension to this exhibition by displaying its indigenously modified and upgraded Submarine called “Khalid”.

Besides the submarine, a Multi-Purpose Auxiliary Craft (MPAC), “Jurrat” fabricated in Pakistan with full integration of weaponry and Destroyer “ShahJahan”  modified as per our own requirement and integration of warfare will be on display, he added.

Pakistan, he said is indigenously meeting the defence production requirements of its own armed forces besides exporting to 40 countries across the globe.

We are offering affordable solutions for the defense needs of all countries specially the countries which are looking for low cost affordable solutions. This is what the 52 participating countries and more than 6000 attendees of this exhibition can benefit from, he added.

The Ambassador emphasized that Pakistan is a peace loving country and desires to live in peace and harmony with the world but the regional security situation has become complex and uncertain.  Therefore, he said, Pakistan’s defence industry is compelled to develop a response that is proportionate to challenges that confront the country.

Events like IDEX-2013 provide a unique opportunity for Pakistan’s defence related industries both in public and private sectors to display their products and interact directly with the defence industry of the developed world .This also creates a good opportunity to reinforce the diplomatic efforts in the domain of defence diplomacy he added.

With this in mind Pakistan defence companies will participate in IDEX 2013. The companies include, Pakistan Ordnance Factories with 3 auxiliary companies, Defence export Promotion Organization, Global Industries & Defence Solutions (GIDS) with 07 auxiliary companies, Heavy Industries Taxila (HIT), Embroidery Export Corp, Karachi Shipyard & Engineering Works (KS&EW), National Radio & Telecommunication Corporation (NRTC), Service Industries Ltd, Soaring High, Inc. and Sure Nice Traders.
