At this point, I believe LAAD will serve as an ideal platform to strengthen ties with our partners in the region. From modernization programs to precision-guided munitions and public security technologies, we are confident that our field-proven systems will effectively meet the region’s defense and security requirements. We are eager to pursue industrial collaborations, technology transfer agreements, and joint development projects in the region.”
