Defending the Realm

Vietnam is serious about its military modernisation.
The ongoing Vietnam International Defence Expo
is the clearest indication of this intent at the high-
est levels of the Government and the Vietnamese
military. The path forward will involve the procure-
ment of defence equipment from multiple security
partners. The message has been clearly relayed to
over 60 international delegations, more than 240
defence organisations and enterprises from 48
countries that are present here in Hanoi.

“

In the new period, the Vietnamese military remains at the
forefront of building the whole-people defence posture
and being the spearhead in addressing non-traditional
security challenges. Notably, we not only carry out search

and rescue operations but also perform international
defence obligations,”
Minister of National Defence, General Phan Van Giang

Collaborative Intent

Turkish defence firm HAVELSAN is participating at the ongoing show with
an intention to secure a greater foothold in Vietnam’s growing defence
market “Our approach to new or existing markets is to establish long-term
partnerships that will add value to their defence ecosystem and help develop
capabilities,” said HAVELSAN’s CEO Dr. Mehmet Akif Nacar, in an exclusive
interview at the show.
