KARACHI: “It is indeed a matter of great pleasure to see the IDEAS gaining prominence with every passing year, over a span of twenty-four years”, Federal Minister for Trade and Commerce Jam Kamal Khan stated during soft launch ceremony for International Defence Exhibition and Seminar, IDEAS-2024, held at local hotel.

He further expressed, “I wish the organizers of this event great success in the conduct of IDEAS and look forward to an overwhelming participation from defence industries from inland and abroad.”

DG DEPO in his welcome address stated that IDEAS is a biannual event and the 12th edition of IDEAS is planned to be held at Karachi Expo Centre from 19–22 November 2024.

He added that, more than 90% of the available space has already been booked by exhibitors from inland and abroad. Starting with participation of a modest strength of 65 international and local defence exhibitors in year 2000; the IDEAS grew with each new addition as last two additions saw participation of more than 530 defence exhibitors including more than 300 plus international defence exhibitors from around 40 countries.

Today, it is regarded as an established rendezvous for convergence of international defence exhibitors, delegates, security analysts and top-level policy planner.

It’s always the same shit. Since 2004 I haven’t seen that much of a major difference in terms of what Is advertised e.g refurbished G3A3, Al khalid corner shot static display of JF17. Some UAV models

Its true. Much of it is at least 2 generations old now.

I would say Sharper UAV, Haider tank and JF-17 III probably quiet modern and appealing to countries on a budget, rest is quite old. Super Mush in modernised form sells well too.

Ideas is also an opportunity for many foreign firms to sell to Pak forces too though
