“Platforms like Defence Services Asia (DSA) are important because it supports our need to keep our borders safe, as well as stimulate the economy through technology transfers and foreign partnerships. It is one of many forums that enable participating governments, defence leaders and high ranking military officials from around the region to come together and trash out issues or find solutions to common problems in a peaceful and collaborative setting.”

More than just showcasing the latest defence technologies and services, DSA & NATSEC 2020 will serve a higher regional and global defence agenda by addressing the world’s most pertinent security concerns including counter-terrorism, cyber security, humanitarian and disaster relief, peacekeeping operations and battlefield healthcare, among others.”
