LIMA 2015 of special significance: Malaysian Minister of Defence

摘要

A more exciting and vibrant Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace exhibition awaits participants and visitors this year. Said YB Dato' Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein, Minister of Defence, "I have put a motion in strategy to rival the best aerospace and maritime exhibitions in the world." The keys to this strategy are two overarching ideas; Creating a marketplace for the commercial aerospace and maritime industries, similar to what is currently implemented at LIMA for defence, but with a focus on Asean consumption; Injecting business activities to foster networking of ASEAN and global business, in-line with the ASEAN integration agenda. In honour of Malaysia's chairmanship of ASEAN in 2015, the 13th edition of the show will be heavily focused on ASEAN - and judging by the growth in participation and interest so far, LIMA' 15 is shaping up to be the best gateway to ASEAN maritime and aerospace industries. In addition, the 9th ASEAN Defence Minister's Meeting, which was held earlier today brings together the strength of the region's grouping's Defence Ministers are a perfect prelude to LIMA' 15, where they will be joined by their international colleagues and top brass from around the world - making up the expected 277 delegations from 55 countries.
