It is worth mentioning here that the International Defence Exhibition and Seminar (IDEAS) 2024 will kick off from November 19 to 22 at the Karachi Expo Centre.
The Pakistan government attaches a high level of importance to IDEAS.
The exhibition attracts a large number of delegates and it is seen as a vehicle for facilitating their own indigenous arms trade.
The inaugural launch of IDEAS occurred in 2000 and was a vehicle to promote Pakistan’s domestic arms manufacturing businesses whilst providing a stage for international vendors to offer solutions to the requirements of the tri-services of Pakistan.
The event, having always been scheduled for the Karachi Expo Centre, in its first year attracted forty-five delegations from foreign countries.
