CM chairs meeting on IDEAS

KARACHI: The International Defence Exhibition and Seminar (IDEAS) has become an iconic event because of its exhibition of cutting edge technology.

Sindh Caretaker Chief Minister Fazlur Rehman said this while presiding over the second steering committee meeting for IDEAS 2018 at CM House. The meeting was attended by representatives of federal ministries, armed forces, law enforcement agencies and electronic and print media.

"IDEAS is a shared platform for global peace, stability and prosperity. It also serves as global assignation for sharing of common views on contemporary defence and security issues," the CM said.



The seminar is biennially organised by the Defence Export Promotion Organisation. Since its inception in the year 2000, the event has emerged as an international rendezvous of defence manufacturers, entrepreneurs, researchers, financial experts, and top level policy makers to promote cooperation, knowledge-sharing and support ventures in the field of defence. The 10^th edition of IDEAS is scheduled this year between November 27 and 30 at Karachi Expo Centre.
