A KDIA delegation, headed by Yung Ho Kim, Vice Chairman of the KDIA, visited the UAE pavilion at the exhibition and viewed the products and services of Emirati companies, which include military vehicles, machinery and equipment, as well as guided military systems, and equipment in areas of aviation, maritime, cybersecurity, maintenance, restoration, communications, logistic services and technological development.
The Korean delegation listened to a presentation conducted by Sultan Abdulla Al Samahi, Acting General Manager of the EDCC, about the developments in the UAE's defence and security industry sector, the capabilities of Emirati products and equipment, and the prospects of cooperation between the UAE and South Korea.
Al Samahi stressed that the EDCC aims to strengthen its relations and cooperation with its peers in other countries while praising S. Korea's relevant experience.
