DSA 2008 Defence Exhibition & Conference Asia Services pictures gallery Daily News.

The evolving security environment will see nations in the Asia Pacific continuing to invest in self defence capabilities to ensure territorial integrity and sovereignty while enhancing competence of national agencies to deal with threats and the variety of weapons in the various domains of land, sea and air.
The rapidly changing nature of warfare demands that capabilities are built on leveraging the highest level of technology available so that we remain prepared and will continue to have high operational readiness in the years ahead. More than ever before, we need to equip ourselves with capabilities that can respond to complex and unpredictable challenges with flexibility and innovation.

Malaysia takes a long term view of her defence needs and force planning, and is building a defence capability that gives us the best value for the resources that we have invested.

Over the years the Defence Services Asia (DSA) exhibition and conference has played an increasingly important role in promoting not just the latest in defence and security technology and equipment, but smart partnerships as well in local sourcing, component manufacturing and evolving offset programmes.

DSA 2006, which celebrated it’s 10th anniversary, continued to build on the momentum of the earlier exhibitions, setting several new records, including being the biggest and most comprehensive event of the 10 shows organised to date.

The response from the exhibitors at DSA 2006 was overwhelming and up to 80 per cent of them indicated returning to the show in 2008. This is simply the best endorsement of the organisation and quality of the show. I am confident that DSA 2008 will outdo its predecessor while building on its reputation as the most sought after defence trade exhibition by the global defence industry fraternity.

The Government of Malaysia and the Ministry of Defence is honoured and pleased to play host to DSA 2008 – The 11th Defence Services Asia Exhibition And Conference - which is to be held from 21 – 24 April 2008.
