At the opening ceremony of the ADEX 2016 exhibition, the First Deputy Prime Minister Yaqub Eyyubov read a welcoming letter from Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev to the participants and guests of the exhibition. In his greeting, the head of state congratulated the guests and exhibitors on the opening of the 2nd Azerbaijan International Defence Exhibition, ADEX 2016. The relevance of issues pertaining to military-technical cooperation, the exchange of modern technologies and security features were noted in his letter. As a result of external aggression and terrorism directed against the territorial integrity of our country, the state of Azerbaijan constantly focuses on strengthening our internal security and the development of inter-state cooperation. President Ilham Aliyev noted the significant role of the exhibition as an authoritative platform for discussing issues of military-technical cooperation, which will pave the way for important new initiatives in the defence industry.
The Head of State wished the participants success in their future affairs and peace and prosperity to their countries. Minister of the Defence Industry of Azerbaijan, Yaver Jamalov stressed the importance of the ADEX 2016 exhibition, which serves to strengthen the scientific and technological prowess of the state's defence capability. Today, the Azerbaijani army is able to perform any task set before it. The Minister expressed confidence that the annual staging of the exhibition will gradually extend its reach. Mr Jamalov noted the importance of the second defence exhibition in the context of strengthening the protection of the state’s borders. The ADEX exhibition, which is being held for the second time, is the most extensive exhibition in the region. This year, 216 companies from 34 countries and 29 official delegations from 21 countries are participating at the exhibition. The geography of participants has expanded thanks to the participation of countries like Latvia, Montenegro, Croatia, the Czech Republic and Estonia. In total, ADEX 2016 participants include companies, delegations and guests from 44 countries. This year’s exhibition occupies all three halls of the Baku Expo Center as well as open spaces and represents a 10% increase in area over the first ADEX Expo. The grand display of modern weaponry and equipment will last four days, and visitors and guests of the exhibition will witness a demonstration of the strength and power of the Azerbaijani military-industrial complex.

The countries with the greatest number of participating companies are Turkey (42 companies), Israel (14 companies), and Russia (14 companies). The Ministry of Defence Industry and its subsidiary structures and plants, the Ministry of Defence of Azerbaijan and ANAMA are also actively participating at the exhibition.

The immense interest manifested in ADEX on the part of international delegations and companies once again affirms the high status and importance of Azerbaijan as an important strategic partner, and is a symbol of the trusted relationships in the region. The organisers have extended the exhibition to four days at the request of the participants.

The open exhibition space, which is fully occupied by companies from different countries is worthy of special attention.
