The announcement was made on the Doha International Maritime Defence Exhibition Conference (DIMDEX) website. This decision has been taken after consultation with the public health officials and the Government of Qatar, said the organisers in its statement.

The March 16-18 Doha International Maritime Defence Exhibition and Conference (DIMDEX) was scheduled to take place at the city's exhibition centre DECC and for now, no decision has been taken to postpone it.

It further added that though the risk to the general public in Qatar remains low, their primary concern remains the health and welfare of all residents and visitors to Qatar and for this reason, the event will no longer be held.
