In order to ensure that Turkish defence industry products, which are compatible with NATO standards and eligible to meet the requirements of Middle Eastern/Gulf countries, are promoted and marketed in the region, participation in IDEX 2007 Exhibition is assessed as crucial for the export of Turkish defence industry products and bilateral defence industry relations in the region.

Within this context, 42 companies which are led by Undersecretariat for Defence Industries (SSM) took part in IDEX 2007, the 8th International Defence Industry Exhibition conducted in Abu Dhabi-United Arab Emirates during 18-22 February 2007, on an area of 3000 m2 as the “Turkish Pavillion”.
