2012's three-day programme and brings senior naval commanders, policy-makers,
government officials and analysts together in Doha to discuss key developments
in the maritime field. Given the current geo-strategic importance of
the MENA region in global defence and security issues, DIMDEX 2012 will

high profile forum where naval commanders from across the GCC meet their

to partner with DIMDEX 2012 for the MENC Conference, which is the region's
only dedicated conference for senior naval professionals. The conference
