The Vietnam International Defense Expo 2022 is slated for December 8-10 in Hanoi. This is the first time the Ministry of National Defense hosts the event.

Along with coordinating with other units to implement the expo’s activities, GAET will open a booth for domestic and international customers to boost trade promotion. The booth is placed at the center area featuring GAET’s typical products.

In detail, GAET will showcase models of military weapons and technical equipment, including sail training ships, missiles and aircraft. The booth contributes to highlighting GAET’s advisory role in purchasing weapons and technical equipment for the military’s training work, combat readiness, and manufacturing of defense industry products; transferring technology, upgrading weapons and technical equipment; as well as exporting made-in-Vietnam defense industry products.

Additionally, the corporation will use the 4.0 control system for headquarters to introduce its integration capability.

Regarding the question about GAET’s assigned functions and tasks at the expo, Colonel Tho said GAET has actively sought potential exhibitors to sign booth rental contracts, ink contracts with sponsors and enterprises at home and abroad, support foreign partners in carrying out procedures for temporary import and re-export, transportation, storage, and preservation of exhibits before, during and after the expo. Meanwhile, the corporation will provide services to meet the needs of construction units and exhibitors.
