Delegates visit the expo

The Vietnam International Defense Expo 2024 takes place from December 19 to 22, 2024, at Gia Lam Airport in Hanoi. It is a major program to celebrate the 80th founding anniversary of the Vietnam People’s Army (VPA) and the 35th anniversary of the Whole-People Defense Festive Day (December 22). The event features combat vehicles, technological solutions, weapons and equipment for the navy, army, air defense and air force, cyber warfare, and logistical supply.

In the framework of the second “Vietnam Coast Guard and Friends” exchange program, the event’s organization panel worked with functional agencies of the Vietnamese Defense Ministry to arrange the visit of the delegation to the expo. They toured booths at the expo to explore global trends in weapons and technical equipment, and share their experience in equipment purchase and capability in using staffed equipment to perform tasks, search and rescue, and natural disaster response.
