Rosoboronexport (part of the Rostec State Corporation) is the organizer of Russia’s joint display at the first International Defense & Security Expo Vietnam 2019 (DSE), which will be held from October 2 to 4, 2019, at the International Exhibition Center in Hanoi, Vietnam, the corporate website reports.
“Rosoboronexport has accepted with appreciation the invitation of the organizers to exhibit at DSE 2019 and decided to support the debut exhibition in Vietnam, Russia’s key partner in Southeast Asia. Military-technical cooperation between our countries has been ongoing since 1953, and today it involves the widest possible range of weapons and military equipment. As part of the modernization of its national armed forces, Vietnam has become one of the major customers of Russian products, and we are pleased to note that, despite growing competition, our weapons are still the preferred choice here,” said Rosoboronexport’s Director General Alexander Mikheev.
The Russian delegation includes representatives of 12 Russian defense enterprises to participate in the business program of the exhibition. They manufacture a wide range of products in demand among the armed forces and other security agencies of Vietnam, as well as countries in Southeast Asia.
Security is one of DSE 2019’s focus areas and Rosoboronexport presents in Hanoi a large number of products for equipping army, special forces and counter-terrorism units. Among them are Kalashnikov’s products showcased at the Company’s stand: SVD, SVDS Dragunov sniper rifles, special 18.5 KS-K carbine, Vityaz-SN submachine gun, Kalashnikov AK-15 assault rifle, Kalashnikov AK-203, AK-204 assault rifles and Kalashnikov Pecheneg machine gun.
