(Bqp.vn) - “I am very happy to participate in this exhibition and have hundreds of partner businesses from different countries. This is where you can see booths of companies from the US, UK, China, Russia, Israel, Iran... Somewhere there are still countries that are confronting and disagreeing with each other, but they are all present here, in a peaceful, friendly atmosphere, with the opportunity to connect and cooperate together. That especially shows Vietnam's international role”. This is the sharing of Mr. Jason Lee, General Director of LIG Poongsan Protech Group (Korea) - the unit that has a booth participating in the Vietnam International Defense Exhibition 2024 for the first time.

Expanding cooperation opportunities

General Director of LIG Poongsan Protech Group Jason Lee shared with the press.

Expressing regret that LIG Poongsan Protech's booth only occupied a "modest" space in the indoor exhibition area, Mr. Jason Lee affirmed that at the next exhibition, LIG Poongsan Protech as well as Korean defense enterprises can "reach out" to a more prime and spacious location to match the scale of the exhibition. LIG Poongsan Protech is an enterprise specializing in the production and supply of rocket engines and some other products for Korean weapons manufacturing corporations. Attending this exhibition, Mr. Jason Lee hopes that with the new product of rocket engines using thermoplastics, LIG Poongsan Protech can seek new partners, defense enterprises in Vietnam as well as in other countries, to promote cooperation in technology transfer and build factories to produce LIG Poongsan Protech products locally. During the seminars held at the exhibition, many ASEAN countries such as Malaysia and Indonesia expressed their interest in LIG Poongsan Protech's products.

Vice Admiral Angus Topshee spoke to the press on the sidelines of the exhibition.

Speaking to the press on the sidelines of the exhibition, French Ambassador to Vietnam Olivier Brochet and Vice Admiral Angus Topshee, Commander of the Royal Canadian Navy, both highly appreciated the capacity of the Vietnamese defense industry. Attending the international defense exhibition hosted by the Vietnamese Ministry of National Defense for the first time, Ambassador Olivier Brochet expressed his special impression with the organization as well as the large participation of businesses and the quality of the products introduced and displayed. “Such quantity and quality prove that the exhibition has received a lot of attention. Vietnam's strength comes from its people. "The exhibition demonstrates the strength of the Vietnamese people in the cause of defending the Fatherland" - Ambassador Olivier Brochet affirmed; at the same time, he expressed his agreement with the assessment that the Vietnam International Defense Exhibition 2024 was organized on a larger scale than in 2022, showing that Vietnam is a friend of all countries and is consistent with Vietnam's "4 no" defense policy. The participation of a large number of international delegations and businesses shows the quality of Vietnam's relationship with the rest of the world. Ambassador Olivier Brochet also highly appreciated Vietnam's defense industry products, including those of the Military Industry-Telecoms Group (Viettel). Ambassador Olivier Brochet affirmed that Vietnam has many opportunities to develop the defense industry.
