Hulusi Akar, Minister of National Defence
The 15th IDEF International Defence Industry Fair, IDEF 2021, a world brand of Turkey and placed among the world's leading fairs, will be organized between 17 –20 August 2021 in İstanbul, under the auspices of the Presidency of the Republic of Turkey and hosted by the Ministry of National Defence.
Under the management and responsibility of the Turkish Armed Forces Foundation, IDEF is a prestigious platform where high-tech products are introduced, face-to-face meetings are planned and carried out between the official delegations and the participating companies, and important agreements are signed providing a base to the development of international cooperation in the field of defence industry. IDEF 2021 will also contribute to regional and global peace through networks to be established between official delegations and representatives of domestic and foreign companies.
I would like to emphasise that we will be pleased to host all companies in İstanbul as well as hosting the official delegations of friendly and allied countries on the occasion of IDEF 2021, and as Ministry of National Defence, we will continue to provide support for the success of IDEF.
