South Korea is currently hosting its largest-ever defence exhibition, the Korea Army International Defence Industry Exhibition (KADEX), at a military-integrated base in Gyeryong, located in the southwest of the Korean Peninsula.
The event, running from October 2 to 6, brings together top defence companies and officials from both South Korea and other nations.
Among the key exhibitors is LIG, a major South Korean defence company. Chang Dong-kwon, Senior Vice President of LIG's Global Business Strategy team, emphasised the increasing trust foreign countries have in South Korean military technology.
Speaking to AFP, Chang said, “This year, we signed a $2.79 billion contract for a medium-range surface-to-air guided weapon called Cheongung 2 in the Middle East. This weapon system... can respond from all directions to any target, and the advantage of the Korean weapon system is that other purchasing countries have a lot of reliability in our product because we are currently supplying our military with the geopolitical characteristics of the Republic of Korea and security threats."
The event features over 500 companies, including major players such as Hyundai Rotem (a division of Hyundai Motor Group) and Kia.
Officials from defence sectors worldwide, including the United States, UAE, Japan, and more, are also in attendance.
