Amid Seoul's efforts to become a major player in the global arms market, Korea will hold an international defence exhibition in October to showcase advanced military hardware and technologies.
The six-day Seoul International Aerospace Defense Exhibition (ADEX) 2023 will kick off on Oct. 17 at Seoul Air Base in Seongnam, just south of Seoul, involving 550 companies from 35 countries.
It would mark the largest-ever edition of the exhibition, which first launched in 1996.
The exhibition's previous edition in 2021 featured hydrogen-fuel drones, virtual reality-based training systems, laser weapons systems, and multipurpose unmanned vehicles, as well as military aircraft, including FA-50 fighters.
This year's event will take place after Korea unveiled a goal last year to become the world's fourth-largest defense exporter by 2027.
